In Wisconsin Senate race, Eric Hovde focuses on Tammy Baldwin's sexual orientation
Wisconsin Republican Eric Hovde has attacked the finance career of Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s girlfriend, highlighting their same-sex relationship.
In Wisconsin’s hotly contested U.S. Senate race, Republican Eric Hovde has focused much of his closing messaging on attacking the finance career of Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s girlfriend, highlighting their same-sex relationship.
In a slew of television ads in the final stretch of the election, Hovde’s campaign has repeatedly mentioned Maria Brisbane, referring to her as Baldwin’s “life partner” or her “girlfriend.” Baldwin publicly refers to Brisbane as her girlfriend.
One such ad, from Hovde’s campaign and a joint fundraising committee, features a woman who identifies as a Wisconsin resident slamming Baldwin for being “in bed with Wall Street.”
“While she sleeps in her girlfriend’s million-dollar condo in New York City, Wisconsin families are getting hammered by high inflation and handouts for illegal immigrants.”
“Tammy and her girlfriend are living large while Wisconsin families foot the bill,” the woman adds.
