Featuring: Tammy Baldwin, Democratic | U.S. Senate, Wisconsin

Wisconsin U.S. Senate Debate

Published October 18, 2024 | Video Starts at 53:17

So keep that in mind when you listen to him. He's made assertions about my personal life. I want to talk about his professional life. Eric Hovd owns a $3 billion California bank, a $7 million Laguna beach, California home, and he's been named among the more influential residents of Orange county three years in a row. We have a Brown County, Wisconsin. We have a Greene County, Wisconsin. We do not have an Orange County, Wisconsin. Look, this election is about regaining our rights and freedoms. (53:17–53:31)
