In case you missed it, Tammy Baldwin marked the grand opening of her campaign’s new Milwaukee office alongside community leaders for a roundtable discussion on defending the constitutionally protected right to vote.
The roundtable featured an important conversation on some of the most pressing voting rights issues such as countering voter suppression efforts and protecting access to the ballot box so all of Wisconsin’s communities are represented in their democracy. Following the discussion, Tammy was presented with the Freedom to Vote Champion Award for her work to ensure that every Wisconsinite has the opportunity to cast their ballot in every election.

Wisconsinites have my word that I’m going to keep fighting to stop voter suppression efforts and remove barriers to the constitutionally protected right to vote.”
