Rep. Tammy Baldwin, who’s running against former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson for Wisconsin’s open Senate seat, argued in her address to the Democratic National Convention Thursday that millionaires should pay their fair share in taxes.

We believe that if we’re going to prosper, everyone has to have a fair shot, and everyone has to do their fair share. That’s why I’m proud to lead the charge for the Buffet Rule, which makes sure that millionaires and billionaires don’t get to pay a lower tax rate than middle-class families.

Baldwin said that Paul Ryan and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker “don’t speak for all of Wisconsin,” Baldwin said.
