MADISON, Wis. – Today, the BlueGreen Alliance, a national partnership of labor unions and environmental organizations, announced their endorsement for Tammy Baldwin’s U.S. Senate reelection campaign. This endorsement highlights Tammy’s strong legislative record of supporting workers and a clean environment, which in Wisconsin has created 180,700 jobs, spurred 222,000 applications for new businesses, incentivized $3.8 billion in private sector manufacturing and clean energy investments, and invested $41 million to replace lead pipes.
“The BlueGreen Alliance is proud to endorse Sen. Baldwin for U.S. Senate,” said BlueGreen Alliance Executive Director Jason Walsh. “Our organization is founded on the belief that we don’t have to choose between good jobs and a clean environment; we can and must have both. Sen. Baldwin is a champion for fighting climate change, protecting the health of people and the environment, and creating good-paying union jobs and she is the best choice in the race for U.S. Senate from Wisconsin. We are excited to work alongside Sen. Baldwin in this election and beyond. We need her leadership in the Senate, and we ask Wisconsinites to support her for another term.”
“Wisconsinites and our communities and environment are better off because Senator Baldwin represents us,” said Wisconsin Conservation Voters Executive Director Kerry Schumann. “With climate change impacting Wisconsin in very real ways, from extreme weather to longer tick and mosquito seasons to reduced corn harvests, Senator Baldwin’s support for the Inflation Reduction Act and other clean energy and climate policies helps ensure Wisconsin does its part to reduce climate emissions and move us into the clean energy economy.”
“Senator Baldwin is a strong voice for the working families in Wisconsin and has done great work investing in workers and our state,” said Wisconsin Pipe Trades President Corey Gall. “Federal investments supported by the Senator are creating good jobs for members of the trades around the state and we cannot afford to roll them back or lose out on future jobs and opportunity. We stand with Senator Baldwin because she stands with our members.”
“We’re proud to support Sen. Baldwin because she is a leader that stands with teachers, students, and our school communities,” said AFT-Wisconsin President Kim Kohlhaas. “She championed the Inflation Reduction Act’s investments in our public schools, including the direct pay provision that lets schools—for the first time—utilize tax credits to make improvements, like adding solar power and efficiency upgrades.”
“I’m honored to receive the BlueGreen Alliance’s endorsement today,” said Tammy Baldwin. “I’m proud that I’ve passed legislation to protect our environment and create good-paying jobs in Wisconsin and throughout the country with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. I’m eager to continue this work, and I look forward to working with the BlueGreen Alliance.”
Tammy Baldwin has served Wisconsin in the Senate since 2013. She has worked with Republicans and Democrats to take on the biggest fights and win, passing legislation to promote Made in America manufacturing, lower the price of prescription drugs like insulin, and expand health care for veterans. She is the author of the Women’s Health Protection Act which guarantees equal access to abortion everywhere in the United States.
