JS: With Republicans still on the sideline in Senate race, Tammy Baldwin hits the campaign trail
BROOKFIELD – On the 278th day of her second reelection campaign, Tammy Baldwin still lacked a top-tier challenger. There were 297 days to go before her third appearance on Wisconsin's ballot for U.S. Senate.
She spent that afternoon at a modest event venue in a county she lost by about 52,000 votes in 2018, fielding questions from about 30 Waukesha-area moms who, undeterred by the minus-23 degree wind chill, showed up looking for information, conversation and, perhaps most of all, motivation.
