Tammy Baldwin

Baldwin's campaign shows savvy, to set up in Milwaukee

October 13, 2011 by Uppity Wisconsin

Tammy Baldwin has hired an experienced campaign manager with good national connections.

The best news in the Roll Call story may be this:

Karin Johanson is taking leave from her position as a principal at the Dewey Square Group and is headed to Milwaukee as soon as she lines up office space in the area.

That's a smart decision. Statewide campaigns based in Milwaukee have a different feel and different view of the state. For Democrats, it is where the votes and money are. For Madison-based Baldwin, setting up shop in the city is a good first step.

I ain't Art Kumbalek, but I told you so.

Race for Baldwin's House seat shaping up as one to watch

September 28, 2011 by Uppity Wisconsin

There is quite a primary shaping up in the 2nd Congressional District, which includes Madison, for the seat Tammy Baldwin will vacate next year.

Two Democratic state reps, both great candidates, are mounting the strongest early campaigns.

Kelda Roys has just gotten EMILYS List backing. Mark Pocan has the national Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund endorsement.

When Baldwin ran, she had them both -- as she already does in her race for the US Senate next year.

This is going to be one to watch.

Emily's List endorses Tammy Baldwin

September 6, 2011 by Uppity Wisconsin

Although I am getting a late start after the holiday weekend, one good bit of news came into the office yesterday - Tammy Baldwin is now officially running for Heb Kohl's seat in the Senate.  This is good news for a number of reasons - not only is Tammy a great progressive in the Wisconsin tradition, but she is also a great person.  I'm sure that the right-wing is going to immediately jump on this with the familiar story -- Tammy is radical liberal, she's a woman, she's openly gay, ----- this all to justify the incoming Republican opponents, most of whom have an extremely tenacious grip on reality.   I'm glad to see her hat in the ring, and will be supporting her candidacy.

More important, however, is the fact that Emily's list has this morning announced that they are also supporting her.
