Now, Tammy is working to ensure the Great Lakes region gets our fair share of that money to build up our infrastructure and adapt to the changing climate.
Work to secure an equitable share of federal funding for Great Lakes region infrastructure, coastal resiliency, and climate adaptation.
Occurrences
Evidence
Baldwin said she secured $1 million in the DHS annual funding law for four Wisconsin projects, including $375,000 to implement coastal resiliency strategies to stabilize the Lake Superior shoreline and nearby roadway.
Baldwin voted for a funding package that included a $3 million Great Lakes Coastal Resiliency Study and $26.7 million for over 20 Army Corps projects in Wisconsin, including multiple Great Lakes harbors.
Assessments
The evidence shows Tammy Baldwin helped secure concrete federal funding for Wisconsin Great Lakes shoreline resiliency and Army Corps infrastructure projects, including a Great Lakes Coastal Resiliency Study and specific shoreline stabilization funding. That supports a real delivery on the resilience/infrastructure part of the promise, but the claim is broader than the evidence: it asks for an equitable share of federal funding across the Great Lakes region for infrastructure, coastal resiliency, and climate adaptation, and the record provided only shows partial, Wisconsin-specific wins rather than a full regional outcome.
