[1]Tammy Duckworth

Team, it's Tammy.

Last night, I had the honor of addressing the Democratic National Convention here in Chicago. In my speech, I discussed the importance of reproductive freedom, and the need for Democrats and our entire country to come together as we look toward the future. If you didn't get a chance to catch it, I've included my remarks below.

I hope you'll read it, and then, if you can, make a contribution to support my campaign's efforts to defend and expand our Democratic Senate majority—and defeat Donald Trump—this November.

Thanks so much for your support,

Tammy Duckworth


Hello, Chicago! You know, I went to war to protect America’s rights and freedoms. So I take it personally when a five time draft-dodging coward like Donald Trump tries to take away my rights and freedoms in return, especially when it concerns my daughters.

My girls, gamer girl Abigail and queen of the monkey bars Maile, are everything to me, but they would never have been born without access to reproductive care. Because after ten years of struggling with infertility, I was only able to have them through the miracle of IVF.

But now Trump's anti-woman crusade has put other Americans' right to have their own families at risk because if they win Republicans will not stop at banning abortion. They will come for IVF next. They will prosecute doctors. They will shame and spy on women, and if you think that's far fetched just look up what happened in Alabama last year.

So let me say to every would-be parent, I see you. I'm with you. and together, in November, we'll send a message to old cadet bone spurs, “stay out of our doctors' offices and, while you're at it, out of the Oval Office too.”

Look, my struggle with infertility was more painful than any wound I earned on the battlefield. So how dare a convicted felon like Donald Trump treat women seeking health care like they're the ones breaking the law. How dare JD Vance criticize childless women on cable news, then vote against legislation that would have actually helped Americans to start families. How dare the GOP endanger the dreams of countless veterans whose combat wounds prevent them from having kids without IVF — punishing our heroes for their willingness to serve. It's simple.

Every American deserves the right to be called mommy or daddy without being treated like a criminal. Kamala Harris believes that. So let's make some history and elect her in November.

God bless America.


👋 Wait, friend! Before you go...

Tammy's hard at work every day in the Senate improving the lives and futures of working families nationwide—but that is not something she can do alone.

Can you make a contribution to support Tammy and our campaign's efforts to defend our Senate majority and defeat the MAGA-right at the ballot box this November? We wouldn't be asking if it weren't so important to our success.
