Tammy Suzanne Green Baldwin ( born February 11 , 1962 ) is an American politician serving as the junior United States Senator from Wisconsin since 2013 . A member of the Democratic Party , she served three terms in the Wisconsin State Assembly , representing the 78th district , and from 1999 to 2013 represented Wisconsin 's 2nd congressional district in the United States House of Representatives . In the 2012 United States Senate election in Wisconsin , Baldwin was elected to the United States Senate , defeating Republican nominee Tommy Thompson . In the 2018 United States Senate election in Wisconsin , Baldwin was reelected , defeating Republican nominee Leah Vukmir . As an openly gay woman , Baldwin has made history several times through her electoral success . In 1998 , she became the first openly gay woman and first openly LGBT woman elected to the United States Congress as well as the first woman elected to the United States Congress from Wisconsin . In 2012 , Baldwin became the first openly gay person and first openly LGBT person elected to the United States Senate .
Wisconsin 's 2nd congressional district is a congressional district of the United States House of Representatives in southern Wisconsin , covering Dane County , Iowa County , Lafayette County , Sauk County and Green County , as well as portions of Richland County and Rock County . [ dead link ] The district includes Madison , the state 's capital , its suburbs and some of the surrounding areas . The district is currently represented by Democrat Mark Pocan , who succeeded current Senator Tammy Baldwin in 2013 . Historically , the district has tilted Democratic , due largely to the presence of heavily Democratic Madison . It was a swing district for much of the 1990s and early 2000s . and was held by a Republican from 1991 to 1999 . However , since the 2000s round of redistricting , only the Milwaukee-based 4th District is considered more Democratic . John Kerry won the district in 2004 with 62% of the vote . Barack Obama also swept the district in 2008 with 69% of the vote to John McCain 's 30% .
The Democratic Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States , along with its main rival , the Republican Party . Tracing its heritage back to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison 's Democratic-Republican Party , the modern-day Democratic Party was founded around 1828 by supporters of Andrew Jackson , making it the world 's oldest active political party . In its early years , the Party supported limited government , state sovereignty and opposed banks and the abolition of slavery . Since Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal coalition in the 1930s , the Democratic Party has promoted a social liberal platform . Well into the 20th century , the party had conservative pro-business and Southern conservative-populist wings ; following the New Deal , however , the conservative wing of the party largely withered outside the South . The New Deal Coalition of 1932-1964 attracted strong support from voters of recent European extraction - many of whom were Catholics based in the cities . After the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 , the core bases of the two parties shifted , with the Southern states becoming more reliably Republican in presidential politics and the Northeastern states becoming more reliably Democratic . The once-powerful labor union element became smaller and less supportive after the 1970s . White evangelicals and Southerners have become heavily Republican at the state and local levels since the 1990s . People living in urban areas , women , college graduates , sexual and gender minorities , millennials , and black , Latino , Jewish , Muslim and Asian Americans tend to support the Democratic Party . The Democratic Party 's philosophy of modern liberalism advocates social and economic equality , along with the welfare state . It seeks to provide government regulation in the economy .
