Extreme anti-environment opponents just announced against Senator Tammy Baldwin (WI), Senator Bob Casey (PA), and Senator Jon Tester (MT).
Baldwin, Casey, and Tester are all doing what’s right and standing up against the worst parts of the
Trump agenda. They’re also all in serious risk in states that Donald Trump won last year.
Think about it: With one fewer pro-public health senator, any one of McConnell’s Trumpcare bills would have passed. Our champions in the Senate stood in unanimous opposition. We can’t afford to lose even one.
We need to support them right now. With challenges crystallizing against them, they must get to work immediately — and they need to know if the grassroots are going to stand up with them. Will you?
Chip in just $10 to Tammy Baldwin, Bob Casey, or Jon Tester’s campaigns today to fight off these new challengers.
Wisconsin will be one of the toughest races this cycle. Businessman Kevin Nicholson just announced his campaign to unseat Senator Tammy Baldwin. Baldwin is one of the most vulnerable Democrats in the Senate, representing a state where Trump and Tea Party Senator Ron Johnson won in 2016. Outside spending is going to be heavy. If Tammy doesn’t get ahead of it, she won’t have a chance.
In Pennsylvania, another state that elected both Donald Trump and a Republican senator last year, reports are that Representative Lou Barletta is getting ready to announce his challenge to Senator Bob Casey. Barletta has cosponsored legislation to undermine the EPA, approve the Keystone XL pipeline, and repeal drinking water and clean air protections. We cannot allow him in the Senate.
In Montana, former state senator and current State Auditor Matt Rosendale is challenging Jon Tester. In the state Senate, Rosendale voted to enable selling off public lands, to give millions in tax breaks to oil, coal, and gas, to reduce conservation funding, and to nullify the Endangered Species Act, just to start. A Senator Rosendale would be the worst enemy of the environment.
These are some of our most vulnerable allies. They’ll keep standing up against Trump’s agenda in the Senate, but they can’t do it without grassroots supporters like you.
