2012
Baldwin won election to the U.S. Senate in 2012. She ran unopposed in the Democratic primary on August 14, 2012.[147] Baldwin then defeated Tommy Thompson (R) in the general election on November 6, 2012.[148]
Race background
Money poured into the Senate primary race from political action groups outside of Wisconsin. $4.5 million was spent on ads about Democratic candidate Baldwin. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce spent $850,000 on ads against her.[149]
The University of Virginia's Center for Politics published an article called Sabato's Crystal Ball on March 22, 2012, detailing the eight races in the Senate in 2012 that would decide the political fate of which party would end up with control in 2013.[150] The seat was rated a toss-up.[150] According to the article, "Given the current state of these toss ups, it’s not a stretch to think that a Thompson victory in Wisconsin could end up giving Republicans their 51st Senate seat."[150]

The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:
PGI: Change in net worth
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Baldwin's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $517,004 to $1,080,000. That averages to $798,502, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic Senate members in 2012 of $13,566,333.90. Baldwin ranked as the 70th most wealthy senator in 2012.[161] Between 2004 and 2012, Baldwin‘s calculated net worth[162] decreased by an average of 5 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[163]
Tammy Baldwin Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2004 | $1,410,509 |
2012 | $798,502 |
Growth from 2004 to 2012: | −43% |
Average annual growth: | −5%[164] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[165] |
The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.
PGI: Donation Concentration Metric
Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Baldwin received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Women's Issues industry.
From 1997-2014, 17.82 percent of Baldwin's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[166]
