Friend –

Marcelle and I, alongside many Americans, are praying for the people of Ukraine.

Please be assured that I will be working with President Biden to ensure Ukraine and our allies across the region receive our nation's full support as they respond to Russia's unprovoked invasion.

Sometimes, in moments of crisis like this, I find it helpful to focus on the small ways each of us can take action. So, if you'll permit me, I want to momentarily shift your attention to a Senate race where your support right now could really make a difference.

My colleague Senator Tammy Duckworth is up for re-election this fall, and during these tumultuous times, her military experience and proven ability to lead is sorely needed in the Senate.

Will you chip in $10 or more right now towards Senator Duckworth’s re-election campaign, so we can ensure she can continue to lead our country through crises like this one?

In addition to being a combat veteran, Senator Duckworth has always tirelessly championed working families, civil rights, and environmental justice. Recently, I have been particularly inspired to watch her advocate on behalf of working mothers after becoming the first U.S. Senator to give birth while in office.

For these, and so many reasons, Senator Duckworth is a leader who the American people can trust in moments of crisis, like this one.

Before her campaign's end-of-month fundraising deadline, will you contribute $10 or more right now towards Senator Duckworth's re-election fight?

Thank you for taking a moment to read this message during these difficult times and, as always, for your support.

Sincerely,

Patrick Leahy
U.S. Senator
