For seven years, Tenth Dems has been helping to build the Democratic Party. We have brought thousands of people into the political process as volunteers, participants in our Let’s Talk Politics forums, attendees at Tenth Dems University classes, as candidates for a variety of public offices and as campaign staff for Democratic candidates.
We are building the Democratic Party from the grassroots up.
Senator Durbin has been elected by his fellow Democratic senators every session since 2006 to the post of Assistant Majority Leader. It is the Senate’s second highest-ranking position. Prior to his election to the Senate, he served seven terms in the House of Representatives, after first being elected in 1982.
* Elected to the Senate in 1996 to the seat that was held by friend and mentor, Paul Simon.
* Helped establish the Senate’s first subcommittee which deals exclusively with human rights issues.
* Was a founding member of the Senate Global AIDS Caucus.
In the past, our annual fundraiser has featured such top-name speakers as Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold, Indiana Senator Evan Bayh, former Democratic Presidential Nominee George McGovern, Governor Howard Dean, and Barack Obama.
