Janet Cowell/former State Treasurer (decided not to run for re-election in 2016) could make a comeback and run for the US Senate in 2020 against Tillis. DSCC should recruit Cowell.

Baldwin faced and defeated Tommy Thompson in the 2012 WI US Senate Race.
Potential Republican candidates to challenge Baldwin in 2018 are
Scott Fitzgerald-Majority Leader of WI State Senate,Mike Gallagher-US Rep from WI-8 CD is going to seek re-election rather than run for the US Senate-Gallagher is young(33 years old) and has a long future ahead,and Glenn Grothman-US Rep from WI-6 CD.
WI-7CD US Rep Sean Duffy has announced he will seek re-election rather than run for the US Senate.

Baldwin is not that vulnerable.
