Other ways you can reach your U.S. Senator or U.S. Representative

Senator Tammy Baldwin

Thank her. She’s been our champion on the Defense Subcommittee and helped secure this funding.

Now we need her to keep delivering — more ships, more contracts, and long-term work in FY2027.

Senator Ron Johnson

Tell him to step up. He voted NO on the bill that included $800 million for Medium Landing Ships — funding that is keeping Marinette’s future alive.

Wisconsin workers need him to support more ships, more contracts, and long-term work in FY2027.

They vote, too. Members of Congress pay attention when they hear from real workers back home. Your emails and phone calls show them that families count on these jobs.

Dear Senator Baldwin,

I’m a union Boilermaker at [Marinette Marine / Bay Shipbuilding], and I wanted to thank you for fighting for Wisconsin shipyard workers. Your work to secure funding for the Medium Landing Ship program and direct ships to Marinette made a real difference for our jobs.

I know the fight isn’t over. Contracts still haven’t been signed, and we need continued support as Congress moves into FY2027.

We’re counting on you to keep delivering — more ships, more contracts, and long-term work to keep our shipyards strong.

Thank you for standing with Wisconsin workers.

Dear Senator Johnson,

I’m a union Boilermaker at [Marinette Marine / Bay Shipbuilding]. I’m writing because you voted NO on the bill that included $800 million for the Medium Landing Ship program — funding that supports jobs here in Wisconsin.

The FY2027 budget fight is coming, and our shipyards need more ships and long-term work to stay strong.

I’m asking you to step up and support Wisconsin shipbuilders — more ships, more contracts, and long-term investment in our workforce.

Will you support more ships, more contracts, and long-term funding for Wisconsin shipbuilders in FY2027?

Sincerely,

Dear [U.S. REPRESENTATIVE],

I’m a union Boilermaker at [Marinette Marine / Bay Shipbuilding]. Recent funding for the Medium Landing Ship program and that directs ships to Marinette made a real difference for our jobs. But we know the fight to save our shipbuilding jobs is far from over.

With the FY 2027 defense budget approaching, we are asking you to support Wisconsin shipbuilders. Our shipyards need more ships and long-term work to stay strong.

Will you invest in us? Will you invest in Wisconsin's working men and women by supporting more ships, more contracts and more long-term funding for Wisconsin shipbuilders in FY2027?

I’m asking you to step up and support Wisconsin shipbuilders — more ships, more contracts, and long-term investment in our workforce. Can I count on you?

Sincerely,

[Your Name], Boilermakers Local [696/449], [City]
