This morning, FOX Milwaukee is out with a devastating report that Tammy Baldwin ignored a whistleblower who tried to alert her that postal workers were working on Democrat political campaigns.

FOX-Milwaukee: Wisconsin whistleblower on political campaigning by postal workers says Sen. Baldwin never responded

“The Wisconsin man who blew the whistle on political campaigning by postal workers says U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin’s office never responded to his concerns, an accusation Baldwin’s office denies. Timm Kopp, a letter carrier from Marshfield, grew concerned that postal workers were allowed to take time off work to campaign for their unions’ preferred Democratic Party candidates, causing staff shortages. A federal investigation found the U.S. Postal Service had violated a federal law, and the agency has promised changes. ‘I never expected it to get to this point. Basically all I did is, I wanted to raise concerns about things that were not being done correctly,’ Kopp said during July 19 testimony before the U.S. Senate Homeland Security Committee. Investigators found that the Postal Service allowed nearly 100 workers in several states, including Wisconsin, to take unpaid time off to do political activity for their union. The practice cost the Postal Service $90,000 in overtime to fill staff shortages, the U.S. Office of Inspector General found.”

Of course, this isn’t the first time Baldwin has been caught ignoring reports and whistleblowers concerns. Baldwin was the only member of Wisconsin’s congressional delegation to receive the Inspector General’s report detailing the abuses at the Tomah VA and took no action to address them – even after a whistleblower alerted her.

Appleton Post Crescent: Sen. Baldwin had Tomah VA report for months

  • “Baldwin was the only member of Congress who had a copy of the report, which found three practitioners at the Tomah VA were among the top 10 most prolific prescribers of opiates among more than 3,000 in the region. She received a copy of the report last August but didn’t call for an investigation until January, despite repeated emails from Honl in November and December, asking her to take action.”
  • “A whistleblower who learned in November that Baldwin had had a copy for months and hadn’t acted, repeatedly emailed her office asking that she do something to help the veterans at the center, according to copies of the emails obtained by USA TODAY.”

Her repeated lack of responsiveness to her constituents shows a stunning level of arrogance and incompetence. This is clearly a pattern for politician Tammy Baldwin and Wisconsin families deserve better.
