Team,
Dick Durbin here, senior US Senator from Illinois. I’m so excited to get the chance to talk to you about something I’m passionate about: building Democratic power at the local and county level in our state.
Every day I go to work to fight for the values that you elected me to fight for: increased access to healthcare, protecting abortion and reproductive care, preventing senseless gun deaths, and supporting working families. But here’s the thing:
none of what I do in Congress can be done without strong Democrats also pushing for these policies on the county, local, and state levels.
That’s why the work of the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association matters so much – because they actively recruit, train, support, and campaign for strong, principled Democrats running for office across the state. They also do the important work of building our party into an unstoppable force in our state, ensuring that every single county party has the resources, knowledge and support it needs.
That’s why I’m reaching out today – because a unified Democratic base is the way we get things done.
Are you able to invest in the future of our party – especially in the age of MAGA, Trump extremism and disinformation – by making a contribution right now to our local party-building efforts?

And staying true to our values has never mattered more than it does right now. Trump is running for President again, and we know that one of two things can happen. First, he could win and his diabolical agenda could be set back in motion. Second, his mere presence on the ballot could empower both his extremist supporters and his extremist candidates.
This is why a strong Democratic base matters. This is why it’s important we compete everywhere, in every race.
And this is why it’s important we all do our part to invest and build the party we need to meet this moment. Can you make a contribution to IDCCA right now, to ensure they have the resources to support candidates and build our state party?
Thanks for all you do and for taking this so seriously.
Best,
Dick Durbin
