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

So after enlisting in the 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 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 Senator to give birth and bring a baby onto the Senate floor so she could care for her child and do her job of serving the people of Illinois at the same time.

Tammy overcame so many obstacles and continues to be a fierce advocate for our troops, Veterans and military families in Washington. But Tammy is facing her first fundraising deadline of 2023 and needs your help to hit our goals and stay in the fight. So please:

Can you make your first $5 contribution today to help us stay on track and hit our goals before the end of the month?

Thank you for being on our team.

All our best,

Team Duckworth
