Tonight, Wisconsinites elected David Crowley as their governor, sending Tom Tiffany and his MAGA extremism packing. While Tiffany spent his campaign trying to rewrite his record, American Bridge 21st Century was there with receipts at every turn to make sure voters knew the truth.
American Bridge exposed Tiffany’s appearance with a podcast host who praised Hitler. We uncovered his vote against making Juneteenth a federal holiday — a vote Crowley called “disqualifying.” We also put his plan to split up the Department of Natural Resources under scrutiny, highlighting opposition from sportsmen and past Republican officials.
When Tiffany tried to change his tune, we had the recordings. He opposed mail-in voting while repeatedly voting absentee himself, called for ending the Iran war before voting against reining in Trump’s war powers, and attacked Crowley over data centers while backing them himself. We put all of those contradictions in front of Wisconsin voters.
“Tom Tiffany wanted to rewrite and cover up his real record. Unfortunately for him, American Bridge brought the receipts,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Tiffiany Vaughn. “From the extremists he joined on podcasts to the promises he contradicted with his own votes, we made sure Wisconsin heard the real Tom Tiffany. Tonight, voters decided they’d heard enough.”
