Wisconsin's Senate race is one of the most important races in the entire country this year

We can win this race, as long as we're in it together. It's official, John: I am now the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin, and the race to take on Ron Johnson starts now. In order to flip this seat in November, I'm relying on an unprecedented grassroots movement to defeat Ron John…

I'm Democrats' best chance

this is important: John, I apologize for reaching out again, but this is important: Experts agree my race is Democrats' BEST chance to ensure Mitch McConnell never has the power to try and enact a nationwide ban on abortion. Not only have I built a massive movement of over half a million support…

Senate Dems are fighting for your families

Tell the House to send the Inflation Reduction Act to President Biden’s desk. John, Sunday, Senate Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act. We listened to the American people — and they told us they wanted to see action on easing the burden of inflation on families, bringing down prescripti…

share your thoughts

Help us keep the Senate blue. John, We can’t afford to lose a single seat this November. A GOP majority would attack everything from Social Security to contraceptive care — with Mitch McConnell leading the way. The best way to fight back against the GOP’s vision for our future is by doing everyt…

Sign now: Lower prescription costs and healthier families

What does letting Medicare negotiate drug prices mean for Americans? John, What does letting Medicare negotiate drug prices mean for Americans? Lower prescription costs, healthier families, and more money in your pockets. The Inflation Reduction Act would give us historic power to lower drug co…

I have to be honest with you

We've beaten the odds before, friend. I'll be honest with you, friend: This is going to be a tough race. Experts at FiveThirtyEight confirm that Georgia could decide Senate control, so the GOP is coming after me as its top target for defeat. And now a new poll shows me TIED. Raphael Warnock (D):…

halfway point

let’s kick it into gear, John John, As of this moment, we are less than 24 hours away from the end-of-month deadline. The clock is ticking — and we’re only at the halfway point to meeting our July goal. If you’re with Dick Durbin and Senate Democrats in this fight, now is the time to show it. We…

A McConnell majority?

We need to mobilize to fight back. John, What would happen if Republicans take back the Senate this November? Mitch McConnell — the same Republican leader who supports a national abortion ban and says allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices is “socialistic” — would be at the helm once again. …

I’m nowhere near finished fighting for the people of Illinois

Thanks to folks like you, our campaign won one of the closest races in the nation in 2020. I’ll be honest, John. In a moment, I’m going to ask you to split a contribution between Senator Durbin's campaign and my campaign ahead of our end-of-month fundraising deadline. But first, I hope you will …

My daughter is now less free than I was at her age.

This is a grave moment for American women and for our democracy. I am the third in a line of four women named Margaret. My grandmother, Margaret Cooke Byers, was born in 1897 and turned 22 on the day that Congress passed the 19th Amendment, which allowed women to vote. My mother, Peggy Byers Wo…

The GOP plan

Republicans believe that you will take a political nap in November. John, Senate Republicans have a plan. They believe that the passion of Americans for a take-away-our-rights Supreme Court is stronger than our passion for privacy and basic freedoms.  They believe the drive to restore Donald Tru…

Fundamental freedoms are at stake

We must put a stop to the anti-abortion agenda. John, The GOP may be happy with the opinions coming down from the right-wing Supreme Court of their making. But we know they won’t stop there. This fall, they are hoping to flip the Senate red so they can pass a nationwide abortion ban. With fundam…

Is this something you can do, John?

We are about to give Senator Durbin an update on our goal. John, This week, Senator Durbin called out the GOP’s dangerous plans in the wake of the Dobbs decision. They’ve made it clear they want to take back the congressional majorities and pass a federal abortion ban, in addition to a host of o…

We’ve got to expand our Senate majority

Vermont is not a safe blue state. John, Senator Durbin said I could reach out. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that defending and expanding our Senate majority is a top priority for November. But amidst recent uncertainty surrounding Roe, gun reform, and other essential issues, we really can’t…

Honor their memories with action

Show your support for gun safety now. John, Each instance of gun violence is horrific — and it’s especially gut-wrenching so close to home. Watching families flee from an active shooter at a Fourth of July parade is too much to bear. I am working to make sure the Highland Park community has the …

last chance

I need your help, John

I can’t do this alone. John, I wanted to share an update with you on where we stand after the Supreme Court overturned Roe last week. This is a dangerous decision that is going to lead to the denial of critical health services for millions of women and criminal consequences for patients and doct…

This isn’t over (Roe)

The end of Roe v. Wade is not the end of the fight. John, Since 1973, the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade has protected reproductive rights. Today, that ruling was reversed — and now we must reckon with a world without Roe. I know this is a frightening moment for millions as they watch the…

This position hasn’t been filled since 2015 due to the NRA. Let’s change that.

It’s time for action. I’m proud to share with you, John, that this morning, the Judiciary Committee – which I chair – voted to advance the nomination of Steve Dettelbach to the Senate floor.  This is an important development for a number of reasons. Since 2015, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Fi…

It may seem early, but we have a lot of work to do. John, I know I don’t need to convince supporters like you how critical the November election will be. But I want to take a minute to explain why this moment in June is important. First, the Illinois primary takes place on June 28, with early vo…
