MADISON, Wis. — Republican Congressman and gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany is once again refusing to protect his constituents’ right to vote.
In a moment of true bipartisanship, Wisconsin Republicans and Democrats united this week against a Trump Administration proposal that baselessly attacks mail-in voting and would make it harder for rural Wisconsinites to cast their ballots.
But absent from that unity is Tiffany.
Despite the fact that Tiffany’s district is considered predominantly rural, and as of February Tiffany himself had voted absentee early or by mail roughly 60% of the time in recent years, the congressman and Trump-endorsed candidate for Wisconsin governor has been silent on the recent proposal that would make it harder for his own constituents to vote.
“If anyone needs to be taking the voting rights of rural Wisconsinites’ seriously, it’s Tom Tiffany,” said A Better Wisconsin Together Communications Director Lucy Ripp. “But unfortunately, we’re seeing the opposite.”
In addition to standing by while Trump attacks Wisconsinites freedoms yet again, Tiffany:
- Was willing to throw out millions of Wisconsinites’ votes when he voted against certifying the 2020 election results;
- As part of this effort, Tiffany also supported a lawsuit so outlandish that even the MAGA majority on the U.S. Supreme Court wouldn’t take it up;
- Years later in 2026, he was caught still refusing to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election;
- In a March 2026 interview, Tiffany said “I don’t believe we should be doing mail-in voting;”
- Refused to stop Trump from taking Wisconsinites’ tax dollars to pay off January 6 insurrectionists, even saying insurrectionists are possibly owed restitution.
