Tammy Baldwin

Tammy Baldwin made history in 2012 as the first openly gay person elected to the United States Senate. She was also the first open lesbian elected to the U.S. House – in 1998. She has been an out and proud elected official since 1985.

Before her election Congress, Senator Baldwin previously served in the Wisconsin Assembly, the Dane County Commission, and the Madison Common Council.

In the Senate, Sen. Baldwin has been a steadfast proponent of LGBTQ rights, women’s and reproductive rights, and social justice. She was the lead sponsor of the Respect for Marriage Act, and has been a tireless campaigner for the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would reproductive healthcare access to millions of Americans.

In 2012, LPAC’s first ever endorsement was for Tammy’s initial U.S. Senate campaign. We stood with her in her 2018 re-election, and are honored to be in her corner again as she seeks a third term!
