Senator Tammy Baldwin says there are plenty of issues facing Wisconsinites Democrats and Republicans will be able to find common ground on. Still, there are also others she will not bend on as well. Members of the House and Senate will work through Thursday before the 118th Congress adjourns for the rest of the year. January 3rd marks the first day of the 119 Congress when Baldwin will be sworn into office for a third time. High on her to-do list are expanding her Made in America efforts, stopping the flow of fentanyl, and the passage of the Farm Bill. She also made clear she would stand in the way of some of the efforts Republicans championed during their months of campaigning.
Speaking of the Farm Bill, Baldwin celebrated the Senate's passage of the legislation earlier this month. The legislation expanded mental health resources for farmers, provided funding for rural water testing and treatment, and reauthorized the Dairy Business Innovation Act of 2023.
