Baldwin, Moore pump up crowd at Obama event
U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin drew several minutes of thunderous applause after her remarks at Bradley Tech High in Milwaukee.
"Who do we want? Tammy Baldwin!" the crowd chanted after Baldwin said Dems will "do what it takes to make it right for the middle class."
"We will invest in education," she said. "We're going to provide tax cuts to small businesses" to create a "fair shot for all" and a "Made in Wisconsin" economy, said Baldwin.
Rep. Gwen Moore told the crowd that she is excited about the "It Takes One" campaign.
"You might have to work long hours or have various disabilities and think if you can't go door to door that you can't help the campaign," Moore said. "But you can go to each house next door, call your grandma's nursing home or tell your kids to spread the word at their high school."
Mayor Tom Barrett said, "Four years ago, everyone in this group helped make sure President Obama was elected president of the United States. Our challenge now is to make sure Wisconsin stays blue in October and in November."
