http://www.rollcall.com/news/Emilys-List-Endorses-Tammy-Baldwin-Senate-Wisconsin-208511-1.htmlEMILY’s List officially endorsed Rep. Tammy Baldwin on Wednesday, one day after the Wisconsin Democrat announced her Senate candidacy.
Neither development was unexpected, but the group’s backing confirms Baldwin will have the support of outside groups that are excited about her potentially groundbreaking candidacy. Along with EMILY’s List, which works to elect women who support abortion rights, gay and lesbian groups also began lining up behind the seven-term Congresswoman even before her candidacy was official. Baldwin could become the first openly gay Senator.
“Tammy Baldwin has been a champion of progressive values and a strong voice for women and families in the House of Representatives,” EMILY’s List President Stephanie Schriock said in a statement. “Since taking office in 1999, Tammy has been an EMILY’s List hero and our community of almost 1 million members has been looking forward to this race for a long time.”
