Despite Illinois Democrats’ desire to nominate African-American Candidate Andrea Zopp – Durbin and now the toxic former leader Harry Reid are trying to stack the deck for Duckworth.

National Journal: Illinois Dems Want an African-American Candidate to Oppose Tammy Duckworth

But I guess we shouldn’t be surprised since Tammy Duckworth has a history of bullying her way through primaries.

"Of course Harry Reid would endorse another power hungry partisan like Tammy Duckworth. It will be interesting to watch National and Illinois Democrats duke it out in this competitive primary." – NRSC Spokeswoman Andrea Bozek

Dear Friend,

It’s that time again: at the end of this month the second FEC quarter of the year comes to a close. Reports from every Democrat running for Senate will be scrutinized. Outside groups — backed by folks like the Kochs — will use those numbers to plan targets.

If Democrats are going to take back the Senate in 2016, we’ll need to put up huge numbers. And today, I’m writing to see if you’ll help two fantastic women — Catherine Cortez Masto and Tammy Duckworth — do just that.

Catherine is running for Senate in my home state of Nevada. She’s been working for Nevada families for years. If she wins, I will leave the Senate knowing that the people of Nevada are in good hands.

Help Catherine raise the money she’ll need to win in Nevada. Give $5 or more to her campaign.

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will automatically be evenly split between Catherine Cortez Masto and Tammy Duckworth:

Express Donate: $5

Express Donate: $10

Express Donate: $25

Or donate another amount.

Tammy Duckworth in Illinois is an inspiration. She lost both of her legs when her Black Hawk helicopter was shot down as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

When Tammy recovered, she continued her service by helping fellow veterans at the state and federal level. She’s served the people of Illinois as a member of Congress.

Now she’s ready to go to the Senate — where her voice is sorely needed. Help Tammy build a campaign ready to win with a contribution of $5 or more today.

These two exceptional candidates are the key to a new Democratic majority. Thank you for helping them out.
