Baldwin on Trump’s Executive Order That Tramples Local Sports Leagues' and Schools’ Decision-Making Power

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, after President Donald Trump signed an executive order on transgender kids that tramples on local school districts and sports associations' ability to make the best decisions for their student athletes, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) released the following statement:

“This all comes down to who you trust to make these decisions. I trust our parents, schools, and sports associations to make these decisions, not the President or politicians in Washington. I’ve heard directly from Wisconsin sports associations and parents who are thoughtfully managing this on their own, and they don’t need the federal government butting in. While Republicans are laser-focused on playing politics with kids’ sports leagues, I’m focused on the issues I hear about from Wisconsinites – lowering costs at the pharmacy and grocery store, getting people good, affordable health care, and keeping the Badger State safe.”
