Evidence

Published: 05.26.2026 — Baldwin Visits Wisconsin Farms as War in Iran Jacks Up Fertilizer, Fuel Costs. (Press release text describes farm visits and farming/fertilizer concerns; makes no mention of new legislation or actions to protect active-duty servicemembers from eviction, debt collection, or financial fraud.)

During the lookback window (May 26–28, 2026) Senator Baldwin's public press release dated May 26, 2026, concerns farm visits and fertilizer/fuel costs and contains no announcement or indication of new legislative action (e.g., introduction, cosponsorship, or enactment) related to protections for active-duty servicemembers such as eviction, debt-collection, or the Military Consumer Enforcement Act.

S.1389 (Military Consumer Enforcement Act), introduced June 21, 2017. Cosponsors listed include Tammy Baldwin. The bill would extend Consumer Financial Protection Bureau oversight to matters under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (evictions, interest caps, debt collection, etc.). Latest action: read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.

Senator Baldwin previously took concrete legislative action on this topic by cosponsoring the Military Consumer Enforcement Act (S.1389) in the 115th Congress; the bill sought to expand CFPB authority over SCRA-related protections (evictions, interest rates, debt collection), but the bill did not advance to enactment (referred to committee with no passage). This represents a past substantive effort but not delivery into law.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Senator Baldwin cosponsored S.1389 (Military Consumer Enforcement Act) in the 115th Congress (introduced June 21, 2017), which would have extended CFPB oversight to SCRA-related protections (evictions, interest caps, debt collection). That bill was read and referred to the Senate Banking Committee and did not advance to enactment. No evidence of subsequent successful legislation or enactment implementing these protections was found in the provided lookback (a 2026 press release unrelated to this issue). Because Baldwin made a substantive legislative effort (cosponsorship) but the measure did not become law, the promise was not delivered; effort_badge is set true to reflect the serious attempt.
