Recently, Senate Republicans shamelessly placed partisanship above our democracy by blocking two major pieces of voting rights legislation designed to protect Black and Brown Americans’ — and every Americans’ — access to the ballot box. 

— I served in uniform to protect and defend our Constitution and everyone’s right to have their voice heard through their vote. I will not allow Republicans to dismantle or weaken this fundamental component of our democracy. 

Read my team’s message below, and then split a contribution between my campaign and Michael Bennet’s if you agree that we must expand our Democratic majority in the Senate and finally pass this transformative voting rights legislation.

Despite the hard work that Tammy Duckworth, Michael Bennet, and other Senate Democrats put into advancing the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, this landmark voting rights package was blocked in the Senate by Republicans—again. 

If passed, these bills would have made it easier for Americans across the country to cast their ballots by expanding early and absentee voting, streamlining the voter registration process, making Election Day a holiday, and more. 

But Republicans blocked these bills while over the last year their counterparts in state legislatures proposed hundreds of bills that would restrict access to the ballot box. They’ve shown us where they truly stand.   . 

Friends, if we are going to pass critical legislation like this, we need to protect and expand our Democratic majority in Congress. And that starts with re-electing leaders like Tammy Duckworth and Michael Bennet. So we have to ask:

Can you pitch in $10, or whatever you can afford, to Tammy Duckworth and Michael Bennet’s campaigns today? Re-electing Tammy and Michael, and building on our Senate majority will allow us to continue to make progress on the issues we all care about.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation to Michael Bennet and Tammy Duckworth will go through immediately:

Tammy, Michael and their Democratic colleagues will continue to push for progress on key issues like voting rights, but it will be a lot easier to get things done with a more decisive Senate majority. 

That’s why it’s so important for us to re-elect Tammy, Michael AND flip more Senate seats from red to blue this November. So thank you in advance for what you are able to contribute. 

All our best, 

Team Duckworth
