I always respond to these requests. OK, let's see:
Well, first of all, I don't think she's eligible.
"Tammy Duckworth was born on March 12, 1968, in Bangkok, Thailand"

In any case, not good: 9-9.
Maggie Hassan and Ms. Cortez-Masto actually won their races; it might be more worth checking their scores. (Well, I got Duckworth mixed up with the one from PA, yes she did win a senate seat in IL.)
Well, Maggie Hassan's score is not good either, 7-8. Catherine Cortez Masto, 10-10
Scores subject to some change if birth times become known.
Born in Thailand, what was the actual citizenship of her Dad? That article is not clear about that aspect.,
Her father is a US citizen (Wikipedia) , so in a way she is the inverse of Barack Obama for 'problems' of citizenship.
How about Debbie Stabenow? She will be old in 2020 (70), but her voting record will be an antithesis of the Republican mainstream.
Of course, she could be vulnerable in 2018, but should she get past that election, she becomes a power within the Democratic Party.
