Commitment to Community

December 21, 2024

Senator Tammy Baldwin talks with Mark about her campaign and her win in the state. But she also talks about what the next few years look like for the state and the work she needs to get done. One of the bills she's working on, the Commitment to Veteran Support Outreach Act, will help our veterans who have served and are serving our state and country. Senator Baldwin shares stories about some veterans who have claimed they were misdiagnosed through the VA and needed to go to the private sector for a second opinion. This bill could help hundreds of veterans across the state and more across the country.

Then Mark speaks with state assembly representative-elect Amaad Rivera Wagner. Rivera-Wagner will represent the 90th Assembly in just a few short weeks. Mark asks where his focus will be: funding schools, housing concerns in the area, and infrastructure needs top his list.
