MADISON, Wis. — Tom Tiffany is bought and paid for by right-wing billionaires who are in full support of the same positions Tiffany has worked to advance. These MAGA billionaires funded efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Project 2025 and anti-abortion activism, protected anti-union legislators and even funded a foundation that worked to relax child labor laws and restrict access to Medicaid.
“Tom Tiffany is bankrolled by the same billionaires responsible for funding the efforts to overturn the 2020 election and extreme anti-abortion activism,” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesperson Emily Stuckey. “These billionaires are totally aligned with Tiffany, and he’s already been working for them while in Congress — he even gutted Medicaid to make a tax cut for billionaires permanent at the expense of Wisconsinites.”
