LPAC endorses Baldwin
U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin has been endorsed by LPAC on the day that will determine her opponent in the November U.S. Senate election.
The group, which aims "to give lesbians a real and meaningful seat at the table," writes in its endorsement that Baldwin, D-Madison, "needs our help immediately" in her effort to become the first openly gay member of the Senate.
The group says it will match donations toward Baldwin's candidacy up to $50,000.
"Today Tammy’s opponents, four anti-gay, anti-choice men, are duking it out in the Republican primary to see who can be the most extreme," writes LPAC Chair Sarah Schmidt. "Tomorrow morning, Tammy will have a challenger, who will be able to spend 100% of his energy attacking her."
