From the Editorial Board: Tammy Duckworth has been highly effective in Washington, punching above her weight.
U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth departs after speaking Aug. 24, 2022, at Schuler Farms in Lexington, Illinois, during the Illinois Agricultural Legislative Roundtable.
But for Illinoisans, what matters more is Duckworth’s record as the state’s junior senator, following her election in 2016. She has been highly effective in Washington, punching above her weight.
When we met with her again, Salvi painted Duckworth merely as a sycophantic mouthpiece for Biden, unlikely to think for herself to serve the citizens of Illinois. Given her opponent, it certainly is in Salvi’s political interests to paint the election as a “referendum on the Biden agenda,” and, for some Republican voters, Duckworth’s record and reputation won’t be enough to cancel out the benefits of the Republicans taking over the Senate.
