Hi John. This is Sen. Tammy Baldwin. Can I share something with you?
When I came out in college, I knew I was interested in a career in public service. But I feared that I would have to face a serious choice between pursuing the field of my dreams or living my authentic life openly.
After seeing others in the LGBTQ+ community demonstrate acts of courage by coming out, being themselves, and being public about who they are and who they love, I came to realize that I could do both:
I could run for office and be honest about who I am — so that’s exactly what I did.
When I became the first openly gay Senator elected in our nation’s history, I understood that I needed to use this extraordinary opportunity to make a difference in people's lives. From lowering prescription drug prices to protecting same-sex marriage through the Respect for Marriage Act, I’ve worked hard every day since to do just that.
That's why I ran for office in the first place — not to make history, but to make a difference. And folks like you supported me because you wanted to make a difference, too. In fact, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee has been one of my top supporters since my first Senate campaign.

We have made incredible progress over the years in the fight for equality — but John, we cannot mistake that progress for a total victory.
Republican-led state legislatures across the country continue to pass harmful legislation, especially targeting the transgender community and LGBTQ+ youth. In 2024 alone, 515 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced across the country.
It’s going to take all of us to counter these right wing attacks so everyone grows up knowing they belong, and that kindness and inclusion — not hatred and division — are American values.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Let’s recommit ourselves to work towards the day when all LGBTQ+ Americans can live in a world where they feel safe, accepted, and loved.
Happy Pride, John! 🏳️🌈
