Tammy Baldwin, a champion for Wisconsin families, understands that there are more things that unite us than divide us. She recognizes that working families in Wisconsin all want good-paying jobs, affordable healthcare, and the same freedoms enjoyed by previous generations.

One of Tammy’s key focuses is on supporting Wisconsin workers. She is committed to protecting American jobs and promoting the growth of new factories in the state. Tammy supported and celebrated the one-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) at renewable energy manufacturer Ingeteam in Milwaukee. The IRA has already created more than 142,000 clean energy jobs across the country and has enabled companies like Ingeteam to expand production and generate well-paying jobs in Wisconsin. Tammy continues to work alongside President Biden to create more jobs and support workers in Wisconsin.

Tammy also supports Wisconsin’s innovation and manufacturing sector. She played a crucial role in passing the CHIPS and Science Act, which made historic investments in American manufacturing and technology hubs. Various Wisconsin health technology companies, nonprofits, and higher education institutions are now seeking funding for a regional technology hub focused on personalized medicine, including specific cancer treatments. Having this hub in Wisconsin would advance the biohealth sector, create good-paying jobs, strengthen supply chains, and position Wisconsin as a leader in innovative medical care.

Furthermore, Tammy is fighting for clean water access for all Wisconsinites. She has been involved in discussions with Milwaukee leaders about efforts to replace the city’s lead pipes. Tammy’s efforts secured 0 million for lead pipe replacements in Wisconsin. As a result, Milwaukee’s mayor has decided to accelerate the goal of replacing all lead pipes within the next twenty years instead of seventy. Tammy believes that access to safe drinking water is a human right and will continue working until every Wisconsinite has access to clean water.

In the digital age, high-speed internet access is vital. Tammy has been working diligently to invest in broadband infrastructure in Wisconsin. She recently secured over billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to ensure that every home and business in the state has reliable high-speed internet. Tammy visited Cornell, Wisconsin, to highlight the importance of broadband in rural communities. Broadband connection benefits rural residents by facilitating communication with loved ones, supporting small businesses, and providing educational resources for students. Tammy is committed to ensuring that every Wisconsinite, regardless of location, is connected to the internet.

Finally, Tammy is standing up to big pharmaceutical companies. She is determined to combat their practices of lobbying politicians to keep drug prices high, often at the expense of hardworking Americans. Tammy previously fought against Big Pharma, resulting in lower drug prices and capping insulin costs for seniors. Her bipartisan FAIR Drug Pricing Act aims to bring transparency to pharmaceutical pricing and hold CEOs accountable for price increases. If companies raise their prices, they will be required to provide explanations for the increase, such as increased advertising or executive compensation. Tammy will continue fighting for affordable healthcare and holding Big Pharma accountable.

Tammy Baldwin’s work centers around supporting Wisconsin workers, promoting innovation, ensuring clean water access, expanding broadband infrastructure, and challenging corrupt practices in the pharmaceutical industry.
