2004-third African American since Reconstruction to be elected to the U.S. Senate.

While Illinois senator....
creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax, credit which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state.

His first law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go on line and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent.

NOW- he is the first African American to win the presidential nomination of a major political party.
