WAUSAU, WI – Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) announced today that he is running for governor of Wisconsin on the Dan O’Donnell Show.
“It has been an honor to represent my friends and neighbors in western and northern Wisconsin in Congress, where I worked alongside President Trump to secure our border and deliver the largest tax cut in history for families, seniors, and small businesses. Now I’m ready to lead for every corner of our state.”
“Under Democrat leadership in Madison, farms have disappeared, factories have shut down, and our children’s educational results have fallen behind Mississippi. In 2026, Wisconsin will have a choice between opportunity, security, and freedom or following the path of failure seen in Minnesota and Illinois. I will not allow our state to be dragged down that woke and broke road.”
“As governor, I will freeze property taxes, protect our farmland from Communist China, and fight every day for families, for farmers, and for the hardworking people who make this state great. I will take on the powerful, stand for the commonsense values we share, and deliver real results for every Wisconsinite. Together, we will save Wisconsin and make the Badger State a shining star in America again.”
Tom Tiffany is a lifelong Wisconsinite. He grew up on a dairy farm in western Wisconsin, milking cows and feeding calves at sunrise. He attended public school, worked his way through UW-River Falls, and went on to be a successful small business owner. Together with his wife Chris, Tom owned and operated Wilderness Cruises in Wisconsin’s Northwoods for two decades. In addition, he served as the dam tender on the Willow Flowage for 29 years, earning him the nickname of the “dam man.”
From serving as a Town of Little Rice supervisor to representing Wisconsin in Madison and Congress, Tom has fought for Wisconsin at every level of government. He knows how to make government work for the People, not the elite. He has balanced budgets, secured our border, and never backed down when it came to putting Wisconsinites first.
Wisconsin gave Tom everything—a chance to raise three daughters, start a small business, and live the American Dream. But today that dream is slipping away under Democrat leadership in Madison, and four more years of the same could turn Wisconsin into another Minnesota or Illinois, where families are crushed by rising taxes and opportunities fade. Tom is running for governor to make sure every Wisconsin family has the same shot at the American Dream he was given.
