Businessman Eric Hovde wants your help turning the U.S. Senate red this fall. The long-rumored candidate announced on Tuesday his intentions to run for the U.S. Senate, pitting him against two-term Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin. Hovde grew up and went to school in Madison, Wis., before starting several businesses and The Hovde Foundation, which supports other charities addressing various issues. In a video launching his campaign, Hovde says that “our country is facing enormous challenges” and that “All Washington does is divide us and talk about who’s to blame.” This is the second time Hovde has tried running for the U.S. Senate. He lost a primary challenge to former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson, who lost to Baldwin in the 2012 election as they raced to replace the retired U.S. Senator Herb Kohl. While Hovde may be the biggest name to enter the Republican race for the U.S. Senate, he is far from the only one. According to Ballotpedia, Kyle Corrigan, Stacey Klein, Rejani Raveendran, and Patrick Schaefer-Wicke also plan to challenge Baldwin for her U.S. Senate seat. Baldwin is not facing a primary challenge.
