Republican challenger Leah Vukmir and Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin have been battling for the U.S. Senate seat for Wisconsin. It’s the first time in Wisconsin that both party nominees are women.

The similarity ends there though as both candidates have taken opposite stances on various issues.

Both candidates have strong views on key issues such as health care, abortion, immigration and even the newly selected U.S. Supreme Court appointee Brett Kavanaugh.

Baldwin was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2012 as the first woman to represent Wisconsin, and the first openly gay senator ever. Baldwin defended the Affordable Care Act, fighting to keep people with pre existing conditions insured.

She stands by a women’s right to choose introducing the Women’s Health Protection Act along with Richard Blumenthal in 2017. The act is to help women protect their right to a safe and legal abortion. Baldwin was against the Brett Kavanaugh nomination supporting Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and her testimony.

Baldwin also supports a comprehensive immigration reform, that would find a way to deal with dreamers so they are not left wondering if they can stay in the U.S., and stopping family separation at the borders. “Create strong but smart border security,” said Baldwin on wisconsinvote.org.

Vukmir, of Brookfield, Wisconsin has kept to her conservative convictions, supporting Governor Scott Walker’s Act 10 legislation. She is fighting an uphill battle as Baldwin has been able to make a name for herself here in Wisconsin and in Washington D. C. The latest polls issued by Marquette University, have Baldwin ahead comfortably by an average of 10 points over Vukmir.

As a nurse Vukmir is pro life and supported the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh siding with other republicans. She has fought back to amend the Affordable Care Act, to give states the right to make their own decisions about health care and also supports pre existing conditions getting health insurance.

She is against family separation on the borders but does support the wall being built.

“The wall is important for a variety of reasons, not just to stem the flow of illegal immigrants. Human trafficking, drug trafficking,” said Vukmir on wisconsinvote.org.
