About Tammy
In November 1998, Tammy Baldwin was elected to Congress - the first woman to serve in the House of Representatives from Wisconsin. She was re-elected to her fifth term in 2006.
In the 110th Congress, Tammy serves on the Committee on Energy and Commerce and its subcommittees on Health; Energy and Air Quality; and the Environment and Hazardous Materials and the Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism Homeland Security. She is a leading advocate for universal health care and a proponent of energy independence and renewable fuels. Tammy is also a forceful supporter of civil rights and an advocate for those in our society whose voices, too often, are not heard.
She was also the first ever openly gay non-incumbent to be elected to the House of Representatives, her election having won the backing of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund. Baldwin is one of three openly gay members of Congress, the others being Barney Frank of Massachusetts and Jared Polis of Colorado.
"I look forward to the day when gay and lesbian families are protected through the same laws and with the same obligations, responsibilities and rights as straight Americans. We still have substantive work to achieve in the extension of equal rights, the repeal of discriminatory laws, the elimination of hate-motivated violence, and the improved health and well being for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity or expression" Tammy writes on her website
