Madison, WI – After the debate between Tammy Baldwin and Eric Hovde, AFP Action Senior Advisor Megan Novak released the following statement:
“AFP Action has knocked over 600,000 doors this cycle listening to what voters care about most: and that is by far the economy. Wisconsinites are still struggling to get by and paying over $11,500 more per year just to afford the same standard of living since 2021, yet the moderators asked zero questions about this cost of living crisis.
“Tonight, Eric Hovde proved why he is the best choice to represent Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate. As a businessman, Hovde is a job creator with the visions and skills necessary to strengthen our economy and fight for Wisconsinites.
“After 25 years in Washington – if Tammy Baldwin was going to make a difference, she would have done so by now. It’s time to turn the page on Tammy Baldwin and Eric Hovde is the man for the job.”
AFP Action is highlighting five main points voters should know after tonight’s debate, despite the moderators ignoring questions about the issues Wisconsinites care about the most:
- Tammy Baldwin is a career politician who’s spent 25 years in Washington, D.C. and has nothing to show for it.
- Baldwin voted for the American Rescue Plan, the CHIPS Act, the Infrastructure, Investment, and Jobs Act and the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, amounting to a $5.5 trillion spending frenzy and leading to historically high inflation and sluggish wage growth.
- Senator Baldwin has failed to secure the southern border and Wisconsin. Eric Hovde will fight for increased technology, boots on the ground and infrastructure.
- In the debate, Baldwin tried to paint herself bipartisan, but she has voted with the radical Biden-Harris administration over 95% of the time.
- Eric Hovde will be a man of action and work on day one to get Wisconsin and our country’s economy back on track.
