Senator Tammy Baldwin

Official Bluesky account of United States Senator Tammy Baldwin's office, proudly working for the State of Wisconsin.
The Mississippi River is vital for our Wisconsin way of life—but communities along the river are facing frequent flooding and worsening pollution. My bill would address these issues head-on and protect the Mighty Mississippi for generations to come.
Since JD Vance refused to meet with folks in Milwaukee to see how they run safe elections, I did. This administration’s obsession with 2020 is part of their effort to meddle and undermine the next election because Trump’s desperate to avoid accountability. I’m fighting back.
It’s heartbreaking that we lose nearly 50,000 Americans annually to suicide. People in crisis need help — and fast. Our 9-8-8 hotline is bringing that help and it’s saving lives.
The cost of gas, groceries, and health care are soaring under this administration. The last thing Americans need is a price hike on their prescription medication.
Today Medicare and Medicaid turn 61. While the Trump administration does everything in its power to destroy these vital programs, I will never stop fighting to protect and strengthen them.
Shuttering the Department of Education would be devastating for Wisconsin students, teachers, and parents. That’s why I’m raising the alarms on the real harm this will cause for families.
At the same time prices are soaring because of his policies, President Trump has managed to cost Wisconsin thousands of good-paying jobs.
The president’s economy is just not working for Wisconsin families.
There is no reason big drug companies should charge an arm and a leg for medicine that’s been around for more than 100 years and remains essentially unchanged. I’m pushing to make it just $35 a month.
The numbers are in, and they just confirm what we already knew: Trump’s policies are raising costs on Wisconsin families.
Donald Trump has shown he can’t end the war he started, so Congress needs to.
So much for ending foreign wars and lowering folks’ costs like he said he would.
This President is trying to shut down the Department of Education and undermine special education. Why? Not to make our kids get a better education, but to fulfill a campaign tagline. I heard from parents today about what this means for their families and children’s education.
Every dollar spent on this illegal war is a dollar not spent making American lives more affordable.
$37 billion of your tax dollars, folks. We could’ve used that money to lower your health care costs, or make child care more affordable, or lower the cost of living. Instead, it was spent on an illegal war that’s gotten us nothing but higher costs.
I asked Secretary Hegseth about the deadliest day for U.S. forces so far in this illegal war. It’s clear he was unprepared for this war, and Americans deserve so much better.
This president ran on ending foreign wars and lowering costs for Americans. We are now going on 5 months of skyrocketing prices because of his war of choice.
Americans expect their tax dollars to go towards whatever research will give us the best shot at a cure to a disease or a scientific breakthrough – not just pet projects for Donald Trump and his loyalists.
Rep. Lewis devoted his life to bringing liberty and justice to all. As we mark 6 years since his passing, we honor his legacy by continuing that fight to create a more equal, more just country.
This war has been a failure from the start. And to know that these failures could have been prevented is a huge disservice to the men and women who bravely put their lives on the line. Their families deserve answers, and so do we.
Despite President Trump’s best efforts to stop it, we have just made affordable housing more accessible for millions of Americans.
Proud to be lowering housing costs for families, with or without the President’s support.
Republicans chose tax breaks for billionaires over health care for working families. Costs are already soaring because of Trump’s illegal war with Iran; this is the last thing they need.
A father in Texas. A nurse from Wisconsin. A mother of three in Minnesota. All killed by Trump's ICE. Yes, we need an independent investigation into Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's death, but we also need to rein in this rogue agency that is killing Americans and terrorizing our communities.
President Trump said a deal was right around the corner. Now, we’re back at square one with Americans paying the price. It’s time for Congress to end this war.
We cannot allow mail delays to prevent Wisconsin voters from casting their ballots. I am fighting to make sure every Wisconsinite is heard.
RFK, Jr. is threatening to undo decades of progress we’ve made to reduce teen pregnancy. This will not help our kids, and I’m not having it.
Farmers are struggling with soaring costs because of the president’s war in Iran, all while he lines his pockets.
