Tiffany Issues Statement After First Democrat Candidate Forum

By Tom Tiffany - Jan 21st, 2026 07:49 pm

WAUSAU, WI – Tom Tiffany, Republican candidate for governor of Wisconsin, issued a statement today in response to the Democrat Main Street Governor Candidate Forum.

“Every Democrat in this race is running on the same platform of higher property taxes, bigger government, and taking more from the paychecks of working families. After seven years under a Democrat governor, our schools are in free fall, utility rates are the second highest in the Midwest, and Wisconsin has some of the highest property taxes in America. We cannot afford more decline,” Tiffany said.

“My plan focuses on affordability, ending the Democrats’ 400-year property tax hike, stopping fraud and waste, and restoring a government that works with transparency, accountability, and common sense for the people of Wisconsin,” Tiffany concluded.
