"A elei\u00E7\u00E3o para o Senado dos Estados Unidos atrav\u00E9s do estado de Wisconsin ocorreu em 6 de novembro de 2012, juntamente com a elei\u00E7\u00E3o presidencial bem como outras elei\u00E7\u00F5es para o Senado e C\u00E2mara dos Representantes e diversas elei\u00E7\u00F5es estaduais e locais. O senador titular do Partido Democrata Herb Kohl aposentou-se, recusando uma reelei\u00E7\u00E3o para um quinto mandato. A candidata do Partido Democrata foi a representante pelo segundo distrito congressional do estado, Tammy Baldwin. O candidato do Partido Republicano foi o ex-governador e ex-Secret\u00E1rio da Sa\u00FAde e Servi\u00E7os Humanos, Tommy Thompson. Ambos os candidatos Democrata e Republicano conseguiram a nomea\u00E7\u00E3o do partido atrav\u00E9s das elei\u00E7\u00F5es prim\u00E1rias em 14 de agosto de 2012. Baldwin n\u00E3o teve oposi\u00E7\u00E3o na prim\u00E1ria, enquanto Thompson venceu por maioria de votos dentre quatro candidatos que disputaram a candidatura pelo Partido Republicano. Esta elei\u00E7\u00E3o \u00E9 hist\u00F3rica, pois a candidata Tammy Baldwin torna-se a primeira mulher eleita para o Senado representando o Wisconsin, e, ao mesmo tempo, \u00E9 a primeira senadora eleita na na\u00E7\u00E3o que declara-se abertamente l\u00E9sbica. Baldwin foi beneficiada pela forte aprova\u00E7\u00E3o do presidente Barack Obama (Democrata) no estado. Apesar disso, as quest\u00F5es LGBT n\u00E3o foram tema principal de sua campanha, nem mesmo no discurso de vit\u00F3ria. Ao se eleger, declarou: \"Estou ciente de que serei a primeira integrante do Senado americano abertamente gay, mas n\u00E3o concorri nessas elei\u00E7\u00F5es para fazer hist\u00F3ria e sim para fazer a diferen\u00E7a\", \"quero fazer a diferen\u00E7a na vida de fam\u00EDlias que est\u00E3o lutando para conseguir trabalho e pagar as contas, na vida de estudantes preocupados com suas d\u00EDvidas, idosos preocupados com suas aposentarias e veteranos [das For\u00E7as Armadas] que lutaram por n\u00F3s e agora precisam de algu\u00E9m para lutar por eles e por suas fam\u00EDlias.\""@pt . . . .

Primary elections were held on August 14, 2012. Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin's 2nd congressional district ran unopposed in the Democratic primary. The Republican nominee was former Wisconsin Governor and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson, who won with a plurality in a four-way primary race. In the general election, Baldwin defeated Thompson and won the open seat. She became the first woman elected to represent Wisconsin in the Senate and the first openly gay U.S. senator in history. This is also the first time Thompson lost a statewide race."@en . . "+0.05%"@en . . . . "Eric Hovde"@en . . . . "34"^^ . . . . . . . . . . . . "Wisconsin"@en . "2012"^^ . . "2012-11-06"^^ .
