Ben Wikler here from the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. I think this headline tells you all you need to know about Tammy Baldwin’s Republican opponent:

Eric Hovde has spent the last three months trying desperately to dispel claims that he’s nothing more than an out-of-state carpetbagger. But here are the facts:

💰 Eric Hovde is the owner of a $3 billion California bank
🌴 He owns a $7 million ocean-view mansion in Laguna Beach, CA
🍊 Hovde is such a mainstay in Southern California, he was named one of Orange County’s most influential people three years in a row…

Republicans called Hovde back to Wisconsin to run against Tammy Baldwin because they knew he could drop tens of millions of dollars from his own personal fortune to flip this seat red.

Wisconsinites will see right through out-of-state Hovde, but only if Tammy’s campaign has the resources to get these facts in front of voters and set the record straight about her carpetbagger opponent.

Will you pitch in before her campaign’s end-of-month deadline tonight so we can defeat Eric Hovde in November? We can’t sit on the sidelines while Hovde tries to buy our Senate seat.
