Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Congressman Tom Tiffany's Record "Shows Consistent Backing of Trump"

New reporting from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel highlights how Congressman Tom Tiffany has been a consistent rubber stamp for Trump's disastrous economic agenda that has sent the cost of gas, groceries, and health care soaring for Wisconsinites.

According to a MJS review of Congressman Tiffany's career in Washington, he has "voted with Trump 99% of the time." Tiffany has also "voted five times against resolutions" that would block Trump from continuing the War in Iran, and opposed a resolution "aimed at reversing Trump's tariffs on Canada" - both of which have driven up the cost of everything in Wisconsin.

Tiffany's votes have also spiked health care costs for Wisconsinites - from his support of the Republican budget law slashing Medicaid and shuttering rural hospitals, to his vote against extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits, forcing many Wisconsinites to cancel their health insurance coverage.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Tom Tiffany's record in Congress shows consistent backing of Trump

• Republican governor candidate Tom Tiffany rarely broke from President Donald Trump throughout his time in U.S. Congress, including votes to back tariffs on Canada and overturn 2020 election results - a conservative track run that strays from the more moderate stances he's taken on the campaign trail.

• Since he started representing Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District in 2020, Tiffany has consistently held a steadily fiscally and socially conservative voting record on issues like same sex-marriage, gun control laws, the Covid pandemic and the war in Iran.

• That's remained true throughout this current U.S. Congress term, where an analysis of 2025 votes found Tiffany voted with Trump 99% of the time. He is also currently a member of the House Freedom Caucus, which is regarded as the most conservative bloc in the chamber, an HFC spokesperson confirmed.

• Heritage Action, the conservative advocacy organization which rates members based on votes and bill co-sponsorships favorable to the group's positions, gave Tiffany a highly favorable 96% lifetime score. The group is associated with the right-wing think tank who wrote Project 2025, a highly contentious policy proposal that Democrats ran against in 2024.

• Tiffany's office did not respond to questions about his previous voting stances and whether he's changed positions over the years. They also did not address questions about bills he has helped pass or his membership in the House Freedom Caucus.

• Over the past year, Tiffany has voted five times against resolutions that would bar Trump from continuing military activities in Iran without congressional approval. That's despite his campaign trail comments that "it's time to wrap things up in Iran."

• He also voted down a Democrat-backed resolution aimed at reversing Trump's tariffs on Canada - a proposal that only a handful of U.S. House Republicans supported.

• Largely in the 119th Congress, which runs from 2025 to 2026, Tiffany has voted with Republicans on the party's One Big Beautiful Bill, which the GOP is now calling the Working Families Tax Cuts.

• Tiffany voted against a bill earlier this year that would reinstate now-expired pandemic-era premium Affordable Care Act subsidies for another three years.

• At the start of the 117th Congress, which spanned from 2021 to 2022, Tiffany voted to object to counting electoral votes in Pennsylvania and Arizona, which supported Democratic president-elect Joe Biden. He later said he would have objected to the results in Wisconsin, which showed Biden won, but the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol insurrection disrupted voting on the matter.

• Later in 2021, Tiffany voted against the so-called Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, a Biden-backed proposal that provided billions in funding for domestic transportation and infrastructure projects. At the time, Wisconsin Department of Transportation estimated the state would see $5.5 billion in funding over 5 years.

• During that time, Tiffany voted against bill aimed at securing the federal right to seek an abortion and protecting access to contraceptives, in line with other GOP members from Wisconsin. He also voted against a bill to enshrine recognition of same sex marriages, which became law.

• "Try as he might, Congressman Tom Tiffany can't run from his extreme, cost-raising MAGA record," said Emily Stuckey, spokesperson for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

• "We can't afford to let the fox into the henhouse and let Congressman Tiffany continue to meddle in elections and deliver tax breaks for billionaires at the expense of hardworking Wisconsinites."
