Subject: For approval: Rep. Duckworth AAPI month script

Hi everyone,

If at all possible, we’d like to get this approved before 10 am tomorrow, when we have some studio time with Rep. Duckworth booked and would like to slot in the below script.

This is approved by her office, but please let me know if you have any flags:

TAMMY DUCKWORTH

Q: Who is your inspiration for serving in public office?

My dad can trace his service roots back to the American Revolution. I am very proud to be a part of that heritage, which is why I signed up to serve as a pilot and flew Black Hawk helicopters for Operation Iraqi Freedom. In 2004, I was hit by a grenade and lost both legs and partial use of my right arm while flying.

I was drawn to public service because I want to be an advocate for veterans and families like mine, especially after witnessing first-hand my father’s struggle with job loss later in life. For my dad, I am proud to fight for working families every day and stand against extreme Republican policies that only favor the ultra-wealthy.
