Senator Tammy Duckworth

Although she may be on maternity leave Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth still had time to propose a rule change to the US Senate. Her proposal not only was accepted but it made a historical change for women in politics.

No matter what side of the aisle you're on, you have to admit when one of our own is about to make history for our state we should be proud. Senator Tammy Duckworth is going to be that lady to do it for Illinois. As she will be the first senator to give birth while in office.
