WisGOP Statement on Tammy Baldwin’s Remarks to DNC

MADISON, Wis — If you are covering Tammy Baldwin’s address to the 2024 Democratic National Convention, please consider the following statement from WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming:

“After more than two decades in Washington, career politician Tammy Baldwin has little to say or offer to Wisconsin besides more inflation and lawlessness at the southern border. None of this should come as a surprise to anyone familiar with her record. 

“For years, Baldwin opposed common sense policies to secure the border. When she had the chance to stand up to the party bosses and stop their inflationary agenda, she instead capitulated and voted 96% of the time with the Biden-Harris Administration. While Baldwin may have done well for herself with a stockpile of undisclosed assets, working families have been left with nothing but thinner wallets and skyrocketing costs on her watch. 

“Wisconsinites deserve better than another round of dwindling savings and crumbling borders. Above all, they demand new leadership that takes pride in delivering results for hard-working Americans. Eric Hovde knows that what all working families want are lower prices and real security. That begins this November with retiring Tammy Baldwin and electing Eric Hovde to the United States Senate.” —WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming
