In their own words

we should be doing mail-in voting

The problem is not the Second Amendment. If I saw a quote accurately this morning… it sounds like (Pretti's) father had some discussion with him recently, saying, 'Be careful when you go to something like this, make sure that you don't get caught up in the chaos,

    @TomTiffanyWI has voted for Donald Trump’s agenda 100% of the time. In Trump’s own words, Tiffany is his “sidekick.” We need a leader focused on making life easier for Wisconsin families and taking on the corruption of Washington - and that’s what I’ll do as your Governor. #MissyForWI #WisconsinGovernor #UnlockWisconsin #TomTiffany #WisDems

    "He has always been at my side." Trump, on Tom Tiffany. True. Tiffany sided with Trump to throw out Wisconsin's 2020 election results. Tiffany's so-called Freedom Caucus shut down business in the U.S. Congress to comply with Trump's demand that no legislation be passed until his voter suppression "SAVE" bill is enacted. Tiffany will always be at Trump's side, not on our side. Let's elect a Democratic governor who will be on the side of Wisconsinites.

    Representative Tom Tiffany

    Paid for by Congressman Tom Tiffany

    Posting my Tiffany Telegram from Friday: Last year, I explained how our election system does not require proof of U.S. citizenship when individuals register to vote. Individuals simply check a box saying they are a citizen, and somehow that’s considered “good enough” to vote. This is why states from Ohio to Virginia to Texas have discovered non-citizens on their voter rolls, with some even casting ballots. And in states like California, Illinois, and Minnesota, voters aren’t even required to show ID at the polls. This opens the door to fraud and dilutes the voice of every legal voter. We should all agree that the integrity of our elections should be better than “good enough.” Wisconsinites have seen these vulnerabilities and demanded change. In 2025, 63% of voters supported requiring voter ID. In 2024, 70% voted to ensure non-citizens do not vote in our elections. These are overwhelming majorities that cut across party lines, and they emphasize that the people of our state want elections that are secure, transparent, and honest. But Wisconsin Democrats continue to stand in the way. They have blocked audits of our voter rolls, even as concerns grow about outdated data. Attorney General Josh Kaul went so far as to sue in order to overturn a Waukesha judge’s decision requiring the Wisconsin Elections Commission to check for non-citizens on our rolls. If you’re afraid of transparency, it usually means you’re trying to hide something. It also shows why Congress must finally deliver serious election reforms. That is why I voted for the SAVE Act to require proof of citizenship when individuals register to vote, and it’s also why this past week I cosponsored Congressman Bryan Steil's Make Elections Great Again (MEGA) Act. The MEGA Act is a common-sense election reform bill that: ✅Requires voter ID ✅Verifies citizenship during registration ✅Ensures states maintain accurate voter rolls ✅Requires mail ballots to arrive by the close of polls on Election Day ✅Makes sure states use auditable paper ballots rather than electronic slips ✅Bans ballot harvesting Every American must show documentation to fly, to obtain a hunting or fishing license, and heck, even to buy a beer. Our elections should be no different.
