Talking Points: Tammy Baldwin
Tammy Baldwin is always looking out for Wisconsinites first – she doesn’t become embroiled in the hot-button ideological battles in Washington but focuses on how to make our lives in Wisconsin better. See below:
Her Women’s Health Protection Act is the legislation that will restore access to abortion for Wisconsin women and make sure that no politician or activist court can take away our freedoms again. She has won more support this year for this bill in the Senate than ever before.
Senator Baldwin fought for and won hundreds of millions of federal dollars for Wisconsin for things such as affordable housing, law enforcement and child care, as well as PFAs removal from our water, agricultural research, airport improvements and EV charging stations for the Dairyland Power Cooperative – all things that address the needs of Wisconsinites.
She has fought hard for community and technical colleges, recognizing how critical they are to our economy and to the health of the middle class. Her America’s College Promise Act waives tuition and fees for two years of community and technical college.
She has also worked to support first generation college students who come from low income families. For those who do not wish to attend college, Tammy has fought for new training programs and apprenticeship programs that train Wisconsinites for good paying jobs.
She insists on supporting American workers and manufactures as we rebuild our nation’s infrastructure via President Biden’s Infrastructure Bill. She fought for and won for Wisconsin $6 billion dollars from Wisconsin infrastructure projects for roads and bridges, EV chargers, airport renovations and more. And her Made in America Act ensures “we are buying what America makes when we rebuild our infrastructure.”
She has fought hard for veterans’ rights, including legislation that supports community-based employees who work directly with veterans to inform them of eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) programs and services, file pension and compensation claims, and help them enroll in job, housing, disability, and education benefits.
