MILWAUKEE, Wis. — This week, ahead of Labor Day, David Crowley, Democratic nominee for governor, visited union halls in Kenosha and Kaukauna. He sat down with working Wisconsinites to discuss the challenges facing their lives and his Badger Basics plan that focuses on “affordability, health care, and opportunity, including higher minimum wages and repealing the Unfair Sales Act to lower gas prices.” These conversations occurred as oil prices continue surging and the cost of diesel hit an all time high as a result of Congressman Tom Tiffany voting for Donald Trump’s war of choice with Iran, which is raising costs on everything from gas to groceries to healthcare.
“Working families across Wisconsin are saying the same thing: gas and diesel prices are out of control,” said Crowley. “While my Badger Basics plan would lower costs and put more money back into working Wisconsinites’ pockets, MAGA Congressman Tom Tiffany will continue to say one thing and do another. Congressman Tiffany has voted every time to continue Trump’s war of choice with Iran that is driving up the cost of gas and diesel and making life more expensive for Wisconsin families, farmers, and manufacturers. Congressman Tom Tiffany doesn’t have what it takes to stand up to his best friend Donald Trump, put Wisconsinites first, and address the affordability crisis.”
MAGA Congressman Tom Tiffany has voted every time with Donald Trump to continue his reckless Iran war despite claiming he wants it to end. According to Politico, diesel prices have risen nearly 60 percent in the past 12 months. Between the war and new tariffs, fear across Wisconsin’s agriculture and manufacturing sectors is growing as profit margins decline and hopes for a prosperous season diminish thanks to Donald Trump and Tom Tiffany’s affordability crisis.
