Midnight

John, Tonight at midnight, we’re closing the books on Dick Durbin’s fundraising for the quarter. That means we need to end tonight in a strong position to keep this seat blue in November. Our public fundraising numbers need to prove that this team has what it takes to win big in this fight. …

what happened tonight

John, Biden learned tonight you cannot debate a person who has no respect for the rules of the debate and no respect for the truth. Tomorrow morning, there will be an inventory of lies stated by the President. His claim that he paid ‘millions in federal taxes,’ not $750, would be easily rebut…

what we're up against in November

John, In November, Dick Durbin is facing not one, but two opponents who are working to unseat him. His Republican opponent wants to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and roll back reproductive rights. And the so-called independent in the race? He supported Donald Trump's election in 2016. An…

John, We're in the middle of an unprecedented pandemic. Now more than ever, we need to send leaders to the Senate who will put public health first -- not more of the same partisan politics. That's exactly the kind of leadership we can expect from Dr. Al Gross and Dr. Barbara Bollier. These d…
