Growing up, this little girl learned that through hard work, she could break barriers and achieve anything she set her mind to.

So after becoming a commissioned officer in the U.S. Military, she learned to fly a helicopter and became one of the first handful of women to fly combat missions in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Then her Blackhawk was shot down over Iraq, costing her both legs and partial use of her right arm. She spent a long, painful year in Walter Reed Hospital undergoing surgeries and intensive physical therapy to relearn how to walk on her new prosthetic legs.

But Tammy is a fighter, so she turned these experiences into an opportunity to become a champion for Veterans. She ran for Congress and eventually won a seat in the U.S. Senate, where she is still breaking barriers. In 2018, she became the first sitting Senator to give birth and bring a baby onto the Senate floor so she could care for her child and do her job at the same time.

Tammy has overcome so many obstacles and continues to be a fierce advocate for our troops, Veterans and military families in Washington. But Tammy is facing a tough re-election battle and needs your help to stay in the Senate. So please:
Can you make a contribution to re-elect Senator Tammy Duckworth so she can continue this important work? We are asking for $5 but any amount you can give will go a long way. [[link removed]]
Thank you for being on our team.
All our best,
Team Duckworth
