Tammy Suzanne Green Baldwin (born February 11, 1962)[1] is an American politician and lawyer serving as the junior United States senator from Wisconsin since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, she served three terms as the Wisconsin state assemblywoman from Wisconsin's 78th Assembly district from 1993 to 1999, and seven terms as the United States congresswoman from Wisconsin's 2nd congressional district from 1999 to 2013. She was elected a United States senator from Wisconsin in 2012 and reelected in a landslide in 2018.
As an openly lesbian woman, Baldwin has made history several times through her electoral success. In 1998, she became the first openly lesbian woman elected to the United States Congress, the first openly LGBT person elected to the United States Congress as a non-incumbent, and the first woman elected to the United States Congress from Wisconsin.[2] In 2012, she became the first openly lesbian woman and first openly LGBT person elected to the United States Senate as well as the first woman elected to the United States Senate from Wisconsin.[3][4]
