GET ME REWRITE: Anti-abortion, self-funding, multimillionaire Eric Hovde considers a run against Tammy Baldwin

 

Headline:  Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 9/22/2023

Eric Hovde's record on abortion:  American Bridge 21st Century

The Republican Party of Wisconsin is in desperation mode looking for a sacrificial lamb.

Asked about the stocks, Hovde in a text message to the Journal Sentinel dismissed questions about the stock sales being connected to a Senate run. 

“Just an investment decision nothing to do with politics,” he wrote. Hovde made similar sales when he was considering a Senate run against Baldwin in 2017. At the time, he sold more than $14.5 million in ePlus Inc. stock, but he ultimately decided not to run. 

This time, however, Wisconsin Republicans appear optimistic Hovde might launch a bid as fewer well-known Wisconsin Republicans are contemplating a run against Baldwin. Hovde previously said he could make a decision as soon as this fall, but some Republicans in the state have speculated that he could wait until the new year to announce his plans.
