Fellow Illinoisan,

On Sunday, I was sworn in to my fifth term as a U.S. Senator representing Illinois.  I had the privilege of being escorted to the ceremony by my good friend and colleague, Senator Tammy Duckworth.  It is an honor that the people of Illinois have given me the opportunity to continue to represent them in Washington.

DURBIN HONORED TO REPRESENT ILLINOIS IN FIFTH TERM AS U.S. SENATOR

During my time in the Senate, I have worked to create good-paying jobs, promote Illinois businesses, fight for marginalized communities, and ensure that our state is receiving its fair share of federal funding. I look forward to continue fighting for Illinoisans in my next term. 

The last four years did not break America, but revealed what was already broken. In this new Congress, I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to help heal some of the painful wounds of our nation’s past, and together, create a better, more just, more prosperous America for all.

Thank you for sending me back to Washington for my fifth term. It is the honor of a lifetime to be the longest-serving, popularly-elected Senator from Illinois. I will never stop fighting for you. 

Sincerely, 

U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL)
