Senator Tammy Baldwin (Left) and Challenge Eric Hovde (Right) PC: Fox 11 Online
MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — A business owner running against Wisconsin U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin is promising to donate his Senate salary if elected.
Republican Eric Hovde issued the pledge in a campaign ad, promising to donate his salary to a Wisconsin charity.
The current annual salary for a U.S. Senator is $174,000.
Hovde, owner of a Madison real estate firm and a California bank, said in the campaign spot that he “can’t be bought.” He’s expected to largely self finance his campaign against Baldwin as the Democrat seeks a third Senate term.
