Friend —

As our country faces an unprecedented public health and economic crisis, we are reminded of what’s at stake every election when we vote for our country’s leadership. Our representatives in Congress and in the White House play a tremendous role in the direction of our country.

It’s never been more important for us to flip the Senate, win the White House, and expand our House Majority — so many American families depend on it.

But, we can only take back the Senate if we defend Senators in tough races like my friend and colleague, Tina Smith. Donald Trump has vowed to flip Minnesota red in November. He only lost Minnesota by 1.5 points in 2016 and has promised to spend millions in this battleground state.

We need Tina in the Senate. If we don’t protect her Minnesota Senate seat, we have no chance of taking back power from Mitch McConnell in November. That would mean another two years of a Republican majority blocking every piece of legislation put forth — legislation we’ve been working on to secure affordable health care, protect voting rights, and aid millions of Americans during the coronavirus pandemic.

Can you chip in $5 right now to re-elect Tina? Protecting her vulnerable Minnesota Senate seat is the only way we can flip the Senate and make meaningful progress.

Friend — As a U.S. Senator from Illinois and a combat veteran, I have worked hard to serve my country and my constituents. That’s why I have made affordable health care and veterans affairs top legislative issues, but with Mitch McConnell in power, we haven’t even been able to vote on so many important bills.

Mitch McConnell will do anything to maintain his power in the Senate. But this November, Democrats have a real shot at taking back the Senate and getting our country back on track.

But we can only take back control of our country if we re-elect Tina Smith. Minnesota is a top target for the GOP, and Trump has promised to win big there in November.

If you want to flip the Senate and crush Mitch McConnell’s dreams of a Republican Senate Majority, can you chip in $5 right now? Every penny will go to supporting Tina and flipping the Senate.

We can’t sit out this election. Let’s do everything we can to make sure we can flip the Senate and make meaningful progress on the issues that matter most.

Thank you for stepping up and doing your part.

Tammy Duckworth
U.S. Senator from Illinois
