| Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) will be a mommy soon. |
Once again, the Democrats will have etched a historical feat.
A sitting U.S. Senator will give birth to a child while in office. She will be first in American history.
Sen. [Ladda] Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) announced she will give birth in the coming months. The first Asian American woman to represent the state of Illinois. The first female double amputee combat veteran was elected in 2016. She fought against Mark Kirk, a bumbling Republican who served one term.
At age 49, the senator will give birth to her second child, a girl.

Thank you for the outpouring of congratulations and support. I’m hardly alone or unique as a working parent, and my daughter Abigail has only made me more committed to doing my job and standing up for hardworking families everywhere— Tammy Duckworth (@SenDuckworth) January 24, 2018
She will give birth in April. She is married to Bryan Bowlsbey.
A woman of color who served in the national guard and the army. She was a survivor of a helicopter crash after taking enemy fire. She lost both legs and has partial damage of her right arm.
During the government shutdown, Duckworth called Donald J. Trump, "Cadet Bone Spurs."
She was offended by Republicans attacking Democrats as being anti-military and complicit to murder.
