Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D. RI) in support of U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin’s (D. WI) re-election campaign:
There are troubling signs out of Wisconsin, where the Koch brothers are pouring money into defeating Senator Tammy Baldwin. CNN even says she's a "top target" of this dark-money duo and their network of cronies. Wisconsin is important to strengthening the Democratic firewall, but it's a state Trump won, and Republicans are spending more there than in any other Senate race so far.
Special interests are coming after Tammy Baldwin because she'll always put working families and progressive policies first. They're planning to spend millions to stop her from holding Wall Street, Big Pharma and Donald Trump accountable. That's why we need to help Senator Baldwin raise $5,000 before midnight to get her the resources she needs to fight back and win. Will you give $5 or more today to help Senator Tammy Baldwin fight back and win reelection in Wisconsin?
Senator Baldwin is the first woman to represent Wisconsin in the Senate – and the first and only openly LGBT senator in our country's history. She'll never stop fighting for equality or for the issues she believes in – like affordable health insurance for all.
But with Republicans spending millions to defeat Tammy, it's going to take a massive surge of grassroots support to overcome their attacks, and Tammy needs your help to do it.
Will you give $5 or more today to help Senator Tammy Baldwin fight back and win reelection in Wisconsin?
Thanks,
Sheldon
