Baldwin: Thompson will 'stand with those who already have too much power'
U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin's campaign wasted little time before criticizing former Gov. Tommy Thompson after he won the GOP primary to face the Madison Democrat in November.
"Make no mistake, Tommy Thompson will stand with those who already have too much power and influence in Washington," Baldwin, who was unopposed for the Dem Senate nomination, said in a statement. "I will fight to do what's right for the middle class and Thompson will put those at the very top and the big monied special interests in Washington ahead of Wisconsin's hard working families."
Baldwin accused Thompson of supporting "policies from the past that crashed our economy" and slashing "the very investments we need to move our economy forward."
"Unlike Tommy Thompson, I will fight for Wisconsin's middle class by working across party lines to move our economic recovery forward," Baldwin said.
