Yesterday Former Wisconsin Senator and Progressive champion Russ Feingold endorsed Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin for her Wisconsin Senate bid.
Yesterday, Feingold sent out an email to Baldwin's supporters informing them of his support.
"I know Tammy has the values, the vision, and the guts to be a force the middle class in the U.S. Senate," he writes. "We stood together against going to war in Iraq. And nearly 10 years before the financial collapse, we fought the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act."
"These commonsense rules of the road prevented Wall Street and the big banks from making risky investments, and the end of those safeguards led to our economic crisis. Tammy has always put what is right for working Wisconsin families ahead of powerful special interests in Washington."
This is Feingold's second endorsement this cycle, after Elizabeth Warren.

SUBJ: In Tammy's corner
SENDER: Russ Feingold
Dear Friend,
Today, I’m proud to stand with a candidate who will keep the fight for progress, the middle class, and equality alive in the U.S. Senate: our good friend, Tammy Baldwin.
But with Karl Rove, the Koch brothers, and big corporations already on the attack, we’ll need to fight back now --Tammy needs all of us in her corner.
Join me in supporting Tammy by making a contribution today to help her build her grassroots campaign!
I know Tammy has the values, the vision, and the guts to be a force for the middle class in the U.S. Senate. We stood together against going to war in Iraq. And nearly 10 years before the financial collapse, we fought the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act.
These commonsense rules of the road prevented Wall Street and the big banks from making risky investments, and the end of those safeguards led to our economic crisis. Tammy has always put what is right for working Wisconsin families ahead of powerful special interests in Washington.
And we know those same powerful special interests will spend a lot of money to keep Tammy out of the United States Senate.
So please join me in standing with Tammy by sending a contribution right now!
Tammy is a true progressive champion, one of the strongest fighters for working families our state has ever produced and a hero to those of us who believe in breaking barriers and eliminating injustice in our society. I was proud to call her a colleague as we fought together in Washington for Wisconsin families -- and I’ll be proud to call her my Senator.
Thanks for helping us fight to keep moving Wisconsin forward.
All the best,
Russ
