The Public Record
Tammy Baldwin is an American politician serving as the junior United States senator from Wisconsin since January 3, 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, she made history as the first openly LGBTQ+ person elected to the U.S. Senate. Baldwin previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives from January 6, 1999, to January 3, 2013, representing Wisconsin's 2nd congressional district. Throughout her career, she has focused on issues such as healthcare, education, and economic opportunity for all Americans.

I want to ask a couple of questions about the emergency authority that FERC used.
We've heard a lot of testimony about the need for more granular information.
While I appreciate the good faith effort of the Administration, I think this crisis exposed two major flaws.
I'm wondering if Wisconsin's success and experience during this really extreme weather can serve as lessons for other regions.
70 percent of students in Wisconsin are graduating with an average today of $28,000 in debt.
The unacceptable reality of workplace discrimination, including harassment and sexual harassment specifically.
The Court made it harder to hold employers accountable when harassment is being perpetrated by a supervisor.
