But I understand we can't afford to lose her Senate seat. Also, the time is now for a POC. (Past time, actually.)

So now, I'm leaning towards Tammy Duckworth. She's smart, effective and honorable. We wouldn't lose the Senate seat because Gov. Pritzker is a Democrat & would appoint her replacement accordingly.

As an aside, if we take enough Senate seats to secure a Democratic majority, I'd like to see Elizabeth Warren as Secretary of the Treasury.
