I’m personally asking you to join my reelection campaign

I’m a farmer Can I explain something, John? I grew up in a twenty-four-by-thirty-six foot house. I lost three fingers on my left hand in a meat grinding accident when I was a kid. I am and always will be a farmer, like my folks and like my grandparents. In fact, I’m very proud to be the only U.…

Re: Wisconsin’s Senate race

The Hill has already named me one of the most vulnerable Senate incumbents in 2024. Hi John — Senator Tammy Baldwin here! In a moment, I’m going to ask you to split a donation between my campaign for Senate in 2024 and Senator Durbin’s. But first, I hope you will give me a chance to explain the…

Sign on to support Dreamers

Getting this done needs to be top priority John, when I first introduced the Dream Act in 2001, I had no idea I’d still be fighting to pass it more than two decades later. But I will stay in this fight as long as it takes -- because Dreamers are Americans in every sense of the word, except one,…

Equal rights shouldn’t have to wait any longer

It’s time to finally ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. John, this is unacceptable: It’s 2023 and women still do not have explicit, constitutional protection from discrimination. The Equal Rights Amendment was passed in 1972, but was never ratified. That’s why I am helping lead the push to remo…

this is a big opportunity

let’s finish January strong John, It’s January. Congress is back to work and elections are not top of mind for most of us. But that gives us a big opportunity to get a head start on raising funds to defend our Democratic majority. Senator Durbin needs his online supporters to step up and close t…

Here’s what you’ve missed:

It’s been a busy two weeks. John, We’re only two weeks into 2023 and there’s already a lot to recap. In Washington D.C., Kevin McCarthy let MAGA extremists take over. Then, House Republicans hit the ground running, immediately voting to protect wealthy tax cheats. But it’s not all bad news: the…
