Over $10 Million in Maga Billionaire Cash Shelled Out to Tom Tiffany After He Changed Laws to Benefit Them

MADISON, Wis. — Campaign finance reports have exposed that Congressman Tom Tiffany, who is also Republicans’ presumptive nominee for Wisconsin governor, has in recent months benefitted from more than $10 million in campaign cash from MAGA billionaires after he rigged the law to benefit them. In fact, MAGA billionaire-connected money accounts for over 65% of the total fundraising haul Tiffany has reported since announcing his run for governor.

The multi-million dollar spigot for Tiffany started pouring in less than a year after he voted to increase costs on everyday Wisconsinites in order to fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.

“Tom Tiffany used his power in public office to rig the system for the billionaires while the rest of us pay the price, and now they are helping fund nearly the entirety of his bid for governor,” said Lucy Ripp, a spokesperson for A Better Wisconsin Together.

Records show that starting on May 8, 2026 a pattern emerged, detailed in table below, of the Republican Party of Wisconsin (RPW) receiving multi-million dollar contributions from MAGA billionaires Richard Uihlein, Elizabeth Uihlein, and Diane Hendricks – and then quickly wiring most of it to Tiffany. The latest transfer was as recent as July 21, the same day Tiffany gave an interview on right-wing radio in which he admitted he opposes taxing billionaires.
