WAUSAU, WI – Tom Tiffany, candidate for governor of Wisconsin, released the following statement after Mandela Barnes announced that he is entering the race for governor.

“Mandela Barnes is a dangerous far-left extremist who wants to defund the police, end cash bail, and abolish federal law enforcement. The fact that he is the Democrat frontrunner shows just how radical and out of touch the party has become. Wisconsinites rejected him in 2022, and they will do it again in 2026,” said Congressman Tom Tiffany.
