Politicians Of Pride: Senator Tammy Baldwin Joins Newsy

Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin joined Newsy to talk about her experience as an LGBTQ politician in Congress.

Newsy is continuing its series on "Politicians of Pride," where we highlight LGBTQ people holding office.

This election cycle marked a record number of openly LGBTQ people running for public office, with more than 600 candidates on ballots across the country.

This record advancement in LGBTQ representation comes as dozens of states are actively considering a growing list of anti-LGBTQ bills.
