The following is a statement from Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes following Tom Tiffany’s press conference where Tiffany failed to mention a single word about Trump’s massive price hikes:
“Tom Tiffany wants to talk about everything except the actual costs he is responsible for:
“The gas prices that he and Trump continue to send skyrocketing with an illegal war
“The farm-killing tariffs he voted seven times to continue.
“The health care costs he sent soaring after ripping away tax cuts under the Affordable Care Act.
“If Tom Tiffany is elected Governor, he will do exactly what he’s done in Congress—-cozy up to Donald Trump and MAGA billionaires while spiking costs even more for Wisconsin families.
“When I’m Governor, I will actually fight to lower costs and make life more affordable. We will expand BadgerCare and provide a public option, we will pass universal childcare, and we will freeze utility rates.”
REMINDER:
- Tom Tiffany promised 2026 would be the cheapest year for gas on record just days before he and Trump sent prices skyrocketing over a dollar a gallon with an illegal war
- Tom Tiffany voted for a bill that is estimated to kick 17 million Americans off their health insurance, including more than 258,000 Wisconsinites
- Tom Tiffany has voted seven times to continue Trump’s tariffs, including casting the deciding vote to protect the tariffs last April
