In a blazing show of patriotic grit, conservative businessman Eric Hovde has bravely stepped into the political ring to challenge the Democratic incumbent, Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin. The National Republican Senatorial Committee wisely chose Hovde as their champion after other GOP heavyweights like Reps. Gallagher and Tiffany passed on the opportunity. Hovde’s campaign kick-off was nothing short of magnificent, as he called for unity and urged Americans to rally together for common-sense solutions to fix our beloved country.
Hovde, a savvy entrepreneur in investment banking and real estate, brings a breath of fresh air to the stale world of politics. His past endeavors include founding a nonprofit to aid disadvantaged children and funding vital research on Multiple Sclerosis. A true American success story, Hovde’s commitment to helping others sets him apart from the typical career politicians who have plagued Washington for far too long.
In a twist of fate, Hovde previously ran for the same Senate seat in 2012 but was bested in the primary by former Gov. Thompson. This time around, with a renewed sense of purpose and a fierce determination, Hovde aims to unseat Baldwin and bring a much-needed conservative voice to the Senate. NRSC Chairman Steve Daines rightly praised Hovde’s background as a job creator and heralded him as the ideal candidate to flip Wisconsin’s Senate seat in this crucial election year.
Unsurprisingly, Baldwin wasted no time in playing the victim card, immediately soliciting donations on social media upon hearing news of Hovde’s candidacy. Her desperate plea for financial support underscores the intensity of the upcoming battle for Wisconsin’s Senate seat. The Cook Political Report pegs Baldwin’s re-election chances as “Lean D,” making it clear that the winds of change are blowing and a conservative wave may be on the horizon.
