U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) is running for her third term against multi-millionaire businessman Eric Hovde, who has the support of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the Senate GOP’s campaign arm.
Hovde, who ran in the 2012 Republican Senate primary (and lost to former Governor Tommy Thompson) owns a home in Madison, Wisconsin, but Baldwin refers to him as a “California bank owner mega millionaire.”
As seen below on MSNBC, Baldwin is warning voters in the Badger State that if Hovde wins, “he could very well be the deciding vote for a national abortion ban. He has said he is totally opposed to abortion rights.”
Tonight on @MSNBC, Tammy Baldwin made the stakes of her race crystal clear.

The Baldwin campaign is painting Hovde as a Californian in their campaign ads (he reportedly owns a $7 million home in Orange County) and claims he “belongs on a beach in California where he lives, not in Wisconsin trying to become our senator. It’s time to go back to your Laguna Beach mansion.”
C’mon Dems, if you’re gonna park this truck outside my building, can you at least give me bigger muscles? My pipes are a lot bigger than this guy’s. https://t.co/E4Gf4SjnTJ pic.twitter.com/D1komwEw5N

As seen above, a smiling Hovde posed in front of one of the ads and wrote, “C’mon Dems, if you’re gonna park this truck outside my building, can you at least give me bigger muscles? My pipes are a lot bigger than this guy’s.”

Hovde occasionally flaunts his “pipes” on social media as seen above swimming in snowy Wisconsin in January, and below at a Fourth of July party with his daughter and her bikini-clad friends.
Had a blast at the annual Sherwood Hills water battle contest with my daughter and her friends. It’s important to remember today and everyday how blessed we are to live in this country. Wishing you and your family a happy and safe Fourth of July! #july #independenceday pic.twitter.com/gpptk2oS2g
