Ladda Tammy Duckworth (born March 12, 1968) is an American politician and retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, serving as the junior United States Senator for Illinois since 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, she earlier represented Illinois' 8th district for two terms (2013â2017) in the United States House of Representatives.
Duckworth gave birth to her first child in 2014, while serving in the House. She is one of only 10 lawmakers who have given birth while serving in Congress. Sen.

Dick Durbin, Duckworthâs colleague from Illinois, congratulated Duckworth on Twitter. âProud to have her as my colleague,â he said, âand prouder still that she will make history by being the first U.S. Senator to have a baby while in office.
