BARABOO, Wis. – Today, David Crowley toured Bula’s Pleasant Valley Farm in Baraboo to discuss how Trump’s war in Iran, which MAGA Congressman Tom Tiffany has voted to continue five times, is causing record high gas and diesel prices that are cutting into farmers’ already slim margins. Crowley outlined his plan to lower prices at the pump by repealing a depression-era gas law as governor.
“Farmers are paying the price of Donald Trump and Tom Tiffany’s war-of-choice with Iran. Everywhere I go, I hear that Wisconsin farmers are struggling to pay for the gas and diesel they need to run their farms and businesses,” said Crowley. “While MAGA Congressman Tom Tiffany has voted to continue the Iran war, I’ll deliver relief to the farmers, families, manufacturers, and truck drivers that are hurting by repealing a Depression-era law that will lower costs on gas and diesel. I’m running for governor to make life more affordable for all Wisconsinites, while Congressman Tiffany is running to do whatever Trump tells him.”
As governor, Crowley will lower the cost of gas and diesel by repealing the minimum markup on gas, a Depression-era law that would currently lower prices by 40 cents per gallon of gas and over 56 cents per gallon of diesel.
Meanwhile, MAGA Congressman Tom Tiffany has voted five times to keep the war in Iran going, helping drive diesel and gas prices higher. Earlier this year, Tiffany bragged that 2026 was “on track to be the cheapest year for gas since 2020.” Instead, Wisconsin diesel prices hit a record $6.11, and diesel has risen nearly 60 percent in the past 12 months. Tiffany has voted with Donald Trump 100% of the time, including on tariff taxes that have endangered Wisconsin’s relationship with its number one trading partner. A new report shows Trump and Tiffany’s tariffs will cost $2,179 per Wisconsin household.
