"I am pleased today to offer my enthusiastic endorsement to Tricia Zunker," said Baldwin.



Zunker faces republican state Sen. Tom Tiffany in the special election race to fill the seat left by Rep. Sean Duffy, who stepped down in September.



The election is scheduled for May 12. Gov. Tony Evers' legal counsel announced they do not expect the election to be postponed despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.



Zunker urged people to cast their vote by mail rather than risk their safety at the polls.



"I was really heartbroken last week to see the lines of people with masks waiting to vote in person," said Zunker. "Nobody should risk their lives to exercise their fundamental right to vote."
