The following sponsored email was sent to you by AlterNet on behalf of Tammy Duckworth for Senate:
Dear Friend,
Republican Senator Mark Kirk has pledged that he “certainly” would support Donald Trump as the Republican nominee — an increasingly likely scenario.
Trump’s recent comment that women should be punished if they have abortions was horrific and misogynistic, and yet Senator Kirk has no problem supporting his candidacy. A Donald Trump presidency should be unthinkable to all of us. A Trump presidency backed by a Republican Senate is even more frightening.
Tammy Duckworth is running for Senate in Illinois to defeat Senator Kirk, the incumbent Republican candidate.
POLITICO has called Senator Kirk “The most endangered Republican in the country.” This race is Democrats' best chance in the nation to turn a Republican Senate seat blue in November.
It’s not surprising that Senator Kirk is in danger of losing his seat. He has a long record of offending his constituents, particularly women and communities of color, which fits neatly into the Trump mold.
Senator Kirk has called a fellow senator a “bro with no ho”. He called the Paycheck Fairness Act “the most sexist legislation you can have," and has repeatedly voted against equal pay bills. He disgracefully said that people “drive faster" through African American communities. Senator Kirk’s many Trump-like comments are unacceptable.
Working Americans need a Democratic majority in the Senate and a leader like Tammy Duckworth who will advocate for them.
Thank you for helping Tammy take back the Democratic Senate majority,
Team Duckworth
