Summary
The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation has endorsed Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin for reelection, marking the first time in over 20 years that the organization has supported a Democrat for statewide office. This endorsement highlights Baldwin’s efforts in advocating for agricultural policies that benefit Wisconsin farmers and her popularity among rural voters.
The endorsement comes as Baldwin seeks her third term in the Senate and follows a period of bipartisan support from the Farm Bureau, which also endorsed Republican representatives Tom Tiffany and Derrick Van Orden. WFBF President Brad Olson emphasized Baldwin’s commitment to addressing critical challenges faced by the agricultural community, such as crop insurance and market access for American agricultural products. Baldwin has maintained strong ties with the farming community, often campaigning in areas that have shifted towards Republican candidates in recent elections. Her legislative efforts, including the Dairy Pride Act and contributions to the 2018 Farm Bill, have been recognized as significant in supporting Wisconsin’s agricultural sector, which is vital to the state’s economy.
