Tom Tiffany
Tom Tiffany is a lifelong Wisconsinite. He grew up on a dairy farm in western Wisconsin, milking cows and feeding calves at sunrise. He attended public school, worked his way through UW-River Falls, and went on to be a successful small business owner. Together with his wife Chris, Tom owned and operated Wilderness Cruises in Wisconsin’s stunning Northwoods for two decades. In addition, he served as the dam tender on the Willow Flowage for 29 years, earning him the nickname of the “dam man.”
From serving as a Town of Little Rice supervisor to representing Wisconsin in Madison and Congress, Tom has fought for Wisconsin at every level of government. He knows how to make government work for the People, not the elite. He has balanced budgets, secured our borders, and never backed down when it came to putting Wisconsinites first.
Wisconsin gave Tom everything, a chance to raise three daughters, start a small business, and live the American Dream. But today that dream is slipping away under Democrat leadership in Madison, and four more years of the same could turn Wisconsin into another Minnesota or Illinois, where families are crushed by rising taxes and opportunities fade.
Tom is running for governor to make sure every Wisconsin family has the same shot at the American Dream he was given. He has stood up to unelected bureaucrats and coastal elites in Washington, D.C. As governor, he will fight every day for families, for farmers, and for the hardworking people who make this state great. He will take on the powerful, stand for the commonsense values we share, and deliver real results for every Wisconsinite.
