By Brooke Brandtjen – “Don’t Minnesota My Wisconsin” has become the battle cry for Republicans across the state. As Minnesota finds itself caught in the crosshairs of fraud, bad leadership, and crime, Wisconsin needs to be on guard now more than ever to prevent poor Democrat policies from impacting our way of life. The solution, of course, is Tom Tiffany.

It is difficult to think of a man who does a better job of representing all the best that Wisconsin has to offer than Tom Tiffany. His authenticity is part of the reason why he is such a stand-out candidate for governor. Born and raised in Wisconsin, he built his family and his career in the state. He grew up on a dairy farm and spent nearly three decades as a dam tender, earning him the moniker of being “The Dam Man”. Since getting involved in politics, he has fought fiercely to preserve the strength of Wisconsin businesses, workers, and families.
Under Tony Evers’ administration, Wisconsin has seen rising property taxes, higher utility costs, and the release of criminal illegal aliens back into the state. A majority of the Democrat candidates for governor have called for mass amnesty and ending immigration enforcement. The current leading Democrat candidate for governor, Francesca Hong, is a proud and outspoken socialist, who voted against making child grooming a felony.
Tom Tiffany is the only candidate willing to put an end to the madness. He has promised to end the 400-year property tax hike that Evers signed into law last year. Mr. Tiffany has also announced his intention to end vehicle emissions testing in Southeastern Wisconsin, which has been a hassle and a financial burden for far too long. He is combating Evers’ “green energy” mandates, which have led to utility rate hikes, by vowing to focus on providing cost-effective, stable energy. He will not allow our cities to become sanctuary cities, encouraging the security required to make our cities safer. He has demanded that hospitals comply with price transparency requirements, which have largely been ignored under Evers’ reign. He has vowed to end state income taxes on tips and overtime. He is focused on making Wisconsin affordable, strong, and prosperous.
Perhaps one of Tom’s best qualities is his willingness to work alongside young people to expand the conservative movement. Gen Z is increasingly identifying with the political right, and it’s important that we keep that youth momentum going. Mr. Tiffany’s commitment to affordable housing, job opportunities, and lowering taxes in the state is appealing to young people who want to build their lives in Wisconsin.
In 2026, people are looking for honesty. Voters are sick of politicians’ lies– Something that current Lieutenant Governor and Democrat candidate Sara Rodriguez doesn’t seem to understand– Last month she announced that if elected, she would craft her state budget “behind a curtain”. Tony Evers’ has blocked audits of our state’s voter rolls and our food stamp records. Mr. Tiffany has made it clear that he will stop the fraud and will fight for election integrity, so that we can have secure, honest elections.
Tom Tiffany is going to put Wisconsin first. It’s time we come together to save our state and send Tom Tiffany to the governor’s mansion.
