Tammy Duckworth for Congress

Duckworth and Primary Opponent Debate on WTTW

Today congressional candidate Tammy Duckworth debated her primary opponent on WTTW’s ChicagoTonight.

The candidates discussed the economy, the rising cost of gas, the Keystone XL pipeline, and religious freedom.

Duckworth highlighted her experience in getting things done at the state and federal level to create jobs in a tough economy. “Anytime candidates are given a forum to discuss ideas and talk directly to voters is a good thing,” said Duckworth.

The candidates are scheduled to debate again on Saturday, March 10 in Villa Park. There have already been more than a dozen joint appearances throughout the district.

Courage and Common Sense

Tammy Duckworth and Senator Durbin

Tammy Duckworth has shown courage in her life and has shown common sense when it comes to dealing with the challenges that we face. She can not only help the veterans get on their feet, she can help unemployed workers as well. I am proud to endorse her.

She's the kind of person we need in Washington to make the practical decisions that will move this economy forward out of the recession, creating good paying jobs for the future. People in the 8th district will have a strong voice in Tammy Duckworth.

Senator Dick Durbin, (D-Illinois)
