Can we explain?

We know these emails can be a bit pesky at times — and trust us, the last thing we want to do is ask you for your hard earned money. But the truth is, these messages make a huge difference for our team. Let us explain:

In 2020, we defeated Donald Trump and sent Democratic majorities to Congress thanks to the support of grassroots donors like you who pitched in $3, $10, or $25 along the way.

It was your support that allowed our Democratic majorities to pass the American Rescue Plan — providing COVID-19 relief and strengthening our economy.

And it was your donations that helped us pass the bipartisan infrastructure package last November to rebuild our roads and bridges, expand broadband access, and invest in clean energy.

We truly mean it when we say every dollar you pitch in to emails like this one makes a real difference for our team. And with the Senate majority on the line this November, we’re counting on support from this incredible team once again. That’s why we send these emails around every so often and why your response to them is so important.

Thanks for everything. Your support has made all the difference time and again. — Team Baldwin

Allan, Teri, and Linda

 

I just wanted to reach out and personally thank you.

When my team and I reached out to tell you just how important our January fundraising deadline was, we knew folks like you would step up and chip in where you could. And that’s exactly what we saw.

Because folks like Allan from Eau Claire chipped in $10, Teri from Madison chipped in $25, and Linda from Greenfield chipped in $15, we reached our first end-of-month fundraising goal of the year. I’m so grateful.

When you see the poll numbers surge for Democrats in Wisconsin or our campaign fight back against the GOP’s massive fundraising advantage, it’s because grassroots supporters like Allan, Teri, Linda, and you have stepped up and made it all possible.

Now, I won’t sugarcoat it, we still have a long fight ahead of us to protect our Senate majority, so we can’t rest our laurels yet. I’ll need this team by my side every step of the way.

Next week, our team is meeting to discuss our priorities and strategy for the year ahead. I’d really appreciate your input before that meeting happens.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything. More soon, Tammy

I was in the hospital for three months

 

Tammy Baldwin is the U.S. Senator from Wisconsin and a fierce defender of working families. 

I’m Tammy Baldwin, and I’m proud to represent Wisconsin in the United States Senate. I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you a little more about myself, why I ran for U.S. Senate, and why our campaign in Wisconsin is so important. When I was a child, I was diagnosed with a serious illness and spent three months in the hospital. I was raised by my grandparents, and when I got better, they looked for an insurance policy that would cover me in the future. However, because of my previous illness, they couldn’t find such a policy. Not from any insurer. Not at any price. They had to pay for my health care out of pocket — and they had to make enormous sacrifices to do so — all because I was a child who had been labeled with those words: “pre-existing condition.” I got into public service because I saw my grandparents stay up nights, worried sick that I would fall ill again and they wouldn't be able to afford my care. No one should ever have to go through that. Like 133 million Americans, I know what it's like to have the label "pre-existing condition" attached to my care — and before the Affordable Care Act was passed, many of us could be denied coverage. Today, insurance companies can no longer discriminate against someone based on their pre-existing condition. I championed that health reform and fought to allow young people to stay on their parents’ insurance plans up to age 26. These policy changes have led to millions more Americans getting the health insurance they need. So, you can imagine my frustration whenever Republicans launch a new attack on our health care or threaten protections for folks with pre-existing conditions. They’ve spent years playing politics with people’s lives. And if they’re successful, countless Americans could find themselves in a place where insurance companies, once again, write all the rules. The people of Wisconsin did not send me to Washington to take people’s health care away, which is why I fought against Republican repeal efforts and why I will never back down. Folks like you deserve leaders who work tirelessly to ensure every single person has access to quality, affordable health care, regardless of whether or not they have a pre-existing condition. I am going to keep fighting to make sure we get those leaders elected, but I need your support. We must protect the Affordable Care Act and elect more leaders who will fight to ensure every American has access to quality, affordable health care — regardless of whether or not they have a pre-existing condition. If you agree, sign your name alongside mine today.... I am not going to let anyone make me forget where I came from or why I got into public service in the first place. My own personal experience has always inspired my work to do everything I can to make sure that every American has quality, affordable health care coverage. It is time to move forward toward the day when we make good on the guarantee of high quality, affordable health care coverage for every American. That is a goal worth reaching, and, as Americans, we shouldn’t let anyone tell us we can’t. So long as you're with me, I know we can overcome any challenge we may face on the road ahead and stop the Republicans from taking away health insurance from millions of Americans once and for all. Thank you for standing with me. — Tammy
