Tammy Duckworth has annouced her run for US Senate.

Source: VoteVets.org

Tammy Duckworth is family.

That's why I couldn't be more excited to share the news with you first: moments ago, she announced that she's running for the U.S. Senate.

There's not a better pickup opportunity for progressives than this Illinois Senate seat. But more importantly, there's not a better candidate for veterans and military families than Tammy Duckworth.

Join VoteVets and help Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth's get her U.S. Senate campaign off to a strong start with a $3 contribution today.

We've stood side-by-side with Tammy Duckworth during campaigns, attacks on her service, and throughout her time in the House of Representatives.

Let's help her get to the U.S. Senate.

And someone please gag the douche Joe Walsh as soon as possible before he gets started trying to get 15 more minutes of hate-filled, fear-mongering fame.
