Education Secretary Linda McMahon today joined Donald Trump in endorsing U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany for governor as she urged GOP activists to support candidates who will bolster the president’s America First agenda.
McMahon also told the state GOP convention that she stood with Wisconsin’s Republican House members and Michael Alfonso, the son-in-law of U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy who’s running for the open 7th CD in northern Wisconsin. Trump earlier this year endorsed Alfonso in the four-way primary to succeed Tiffany.
She said they will deliver strong Republican majorities for Trump to “keep this golden age shining ever so bright.”
“Let us rise together and win together so our children and grandchildren look back and say that this is when America and Wisconsin became great again,” McMahon said.

McMahon denounced what she said was a “bleak reality” under former President Joe Biden that she said Trump has turned around. She also told GOP activists that there is a thread that runs from the nation’s founders in 1776 to those who created the Republican Party in Ripon in 1854 and onto Trump’s America First approach.
“It is imperative that we never rest,” she said.
