WAUSAU, WI – Congressman Tom Tiffany, candidate for governor, released the following statement after reports that Democrat gubernatorial frontrunner Francesca Hong donated to Kirk Bangstad’s 2020 campaign. The address used for the contribution matches the one listed on her current gubernatorial campaign website.

This weekend, Bangstad posted that “a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship” in reference to President Trump’s assassination and said he would hold a “#freebeerday” when he dies.

“Yesterday, Francesca Hong posted ten times and never once criticized Kirk Bangstad. Maybe today she can make it eleven and explain why she supported his campaign, along with why she voted against making child grooming a felony and why she opposed no state income taxes on tips and overtime. Does she still stand with Kirk Bangstad after his remarks about assassins needing better marksmanship?” said Congressman Tiffany.
