Here are a few of the highlights from the Tribune's endorsement:
"As a Veteran of combat in Iraq, Duckworth offers a unique perspective on military spending, preparedness and troop deployment."
"She has criticized wasteful defense spending […] She famously excoriated a beneficiary of the system who qualified for a contract by claiming an injury to his ankle that he had sustained during military prep school."
"Duckworth has the chops for nonconformity. She trained as a U.S. Army helicopter pilot because that was one of the only options for women in the military who wanted to engage in combat."
It's a strong endorsement and an important counterpoint to the misleading attack ads Mark Kirk and his super PAC are running, criticizing Tammy's record on Veterans' issues and national security. Contribute now help Tammy respond to Kirk's attacks and highlight this key endorsement:
Thank you,
