AP calls it for Tammy Baldwin. She will be the first openly gay senator to be elected.
Also for real this time— Tammy Baldwin the projected winner.
Three things you should know:
1. As an out lesbian, she will be the first-ever LGBT member of the Senate.
2. But her support of LGBT issues isn’t in name only. She’s pushed for the repeal of DOMA, Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and she was the author of the Domestic Partnership Benefits and Obligations Act of 2011
3. She is a strong advocate for environmental sustainability
