As Trump celebrates his 80th birthday June 14, Republican Congressman and gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany is going all out – in all the worst ways. 

Since entering Congress in 2020, and now since announcing his run for Wisconsin governor, Tiffany has made it his mission to give Trump the best (worst) gift he can think of: turning Wisconsin into MAGA-land. 

But Wisconsinites would like to make a return. 

Within the last year alone, Tiffany has: 

  • Put over 35,000 Wisconsinites at risk of losing their access to food and groceries by slashing funding for SNAP and using the money to give tax cuts to billionaires;
  • Voted several times to continue the tariffs AND the war in Iran, which have priced Wisconsin farms and families out of everything from gas and groceries to fertilizer and farm equipment;
  • Signed a pledge with Moms For Liberty, a far-right extremist group trying to advance a MAGA agenda in Wisconsin through book bans and censorship;
  • Voted to gut Medicaid and not extend essential ACA tax credits, which in turn: hiked healthcare costs, put a hospital in Tiffany’s own district at risk of closing, and put 60,000 Wisconsinites at risk of losing their health insurance;
  • And much more.

It’s never been more clear that Tiffany is willing to gift Wisconsin to the highest billionaire bidder, with no say from Wisconsinites. Call Tom Tiffany today at 202-225-3365 and remind him that we’re not for sale – even for his best bud’s 80th birthday.
