If you are not satisfied with Schumer and Jeffries, let your Senators know before they vote this week or next. -------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Senator Durbin, When it was time to vote for you, we did. We placed our trust in your leadership, put our faith in your vision, and cast our ballots believing that you would represent our best interests in Washington. As your constituents, we are writing to remind you of that commitment. We supported you with the expectation that you would stand up for the values and priorities of the people of Illinois. Lately, however, we have felt a growing disconnect between our community's needs and the actions being taken on Capitol Hill. On November 3rd, we voted to save our democratic country. Accountability for the Trump administration's actions must be a top priority. We do not believe that either Hakeem Jeffries or Chuck Schumer will fulfill that responsibility. Therefore, we are asking you to vote for Chris Van Hollen or Jon Ossoff as the Senate Democratic Leader. We understand the House of Representatives leadership vote is a public affair. Why is it necessary for the Senate vote on the leadership to be a secret ballot? Our votes were not given lightly, nor were they a blank check. They were an investment in a representative whom we believed would listen to us and act on our behalf. We need you to remember the promises made to the voters who put you in office and to actively champion the issues that directly impact our daily lives. We strongly urge you to consider voting for Chris Van Hollen or Jon Ossoff and to take meaningful action that aligns with the interests of the people you were elected to serve. We look forward to hearing your response and seeing how you intend to address these concerns. Sincerely, David and Joan Piekarczyk
