In April 2021, the House passed the Paycheck Fairness Act: a bill to close loopholes in the gender pay gap, protect workers who discuss their wages, and stop employers from using salary history to lowball women for life.

It passed 217-210.
Tiffany voted against it.

“Tom Tiffany has a disastrous anti-worker record, including opposing equal pay for women and supporting child labor” The Milwaukee Courier: https://milwaukeecourier.com/news/2026/08/13/tom-tiffany-has-a-disastrous-anti-worker-record-including-opposing-equal-pay-for-women-and-supporting-child-labor

Patriot Front, a white-supremacist organization, showed up in Waukesha County this week.

Waukesha County GOP chairman Terry Dittrich previously appeared in propaganda produced by an organization linked to Patriot Front and was recorded saying, “I support what you’re doing.”

Today, Dittrich is helping elect Tom Tiffany governor.

And when Patriot Front marched in Washington this summer, Derrick Van Orden responded by pushing an unsupported conspiracy theory about who was funding the group.

Jessica McBride couldn’t let a colleague’s obituary post sit before launching a public takedown of a man dead five months from esophageal cancer… then turned off comments so nobody could push back.

Consider the source: McBride’s spent two decades feuding with reporters who covered her critically, running a “Wisconsin Right Now” outfit that reads like Craigslist with a masthead.

Calling her a “journalist” here is doing a lot of work.

The man she’s trashing spent 33 years at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and got eulogized by Republicans and Democrats alike, including the head of a conservative law institute who called him fair. That’s not a partisan hack’s record.

Her whole “donate, DON’T celebrate” pitch is a self-serving guilt trip aimed at a scholarship fund for young reporters, dressed up as Trump-like principle.

And she locked the replies.

If you’re going to relitigate a dead man’s career, have the nerve to let people respond.

Tom Tiffany is always there for the sound bite.

Trump wants to rename Lake Ontario? Tiffany makes sure everyone knows he disagrees.

But when it actually matters? Silence.

Trump’s administration is reportedly working to hand part of Yosemite National Park to a PRIVATE DEVELOPER.

Tiffany chairs the House subcommittee that oversees our national parks. He even went to Yosemite and promised to protect it “for generations to come.”

This isn’t a sound bite. It’s his job.

So where is Tom Tiffany?

Regular gas in Wisconsin was averaging $3.95 a gallon as of August 21, up 3 cents on the week and $1.06, or 36.5%, from a year ago. Diesel was at $5.31.

Some of the highest prices in the state: Pierce-St. Croix County at $4.21, Superior at $4.20 and Eau Claire at $4.05. The cheapest: Racine at $3.79 and Kenosha County at $3.80.

Tom Tiffany voted for Scott Walker’s $3 billion Foxconn deal, which promised 13,000 jobs and weakened environmental protections.

Even as Foxconn backed away from those promises, Tiffany defended the contract.

Today, a Microsoft AI data center operates on former Foxconn land, 15 more are planned in Mount Pleasant and neighbors are suing over the noise.

Now Tiffany wants us to believe he’ll protect Wisconsin from data centers. But…

- he voted to block state AI regulation;
- he backed faster permitting for AI infrastructure; and
- he’s backed by Wisconsin’s data center lobby.

Tom Tiffany had two chances to protect the Boundary Waters. He voted to open its headwaters to mining both times.

In 2024, Tiffany backed H.R. 3195, an attempt to erase a 20-year mining withdrawal covering 225,504 acres of Superior National Forest. When that bill stalled in the Senate, he tried again. In January, he voted for H.J. Res. 140 to repeal the same protection, clearing the way for Chilean-owned Twin Metals to pursue a copper-nickel mine upstream from the wilderness. Trump signed it into law in April.

Tiffany didn’t choose clean water, Tribal treaty rights or one of America’s most treasured wild places. Twice, he chose a foreign mining company.

Tom Tiffany sure talks like a guy who just wandered in from the farm and discovered data centers last week.

Except he called them an “exciting new technology” and said Wisconsin should be looking at them.

More recently, when a voter told him data centers were “here to stay,” Tiffany’s answer was simple: “Sure.”

Tiffany has also accepted money from Amazon, which builds data centers, along with funding from lobbyists for OpenAI and Oracle, plus $5,000 from Robert Marchant, the only registered lobbyist for the Wisconsin Data Center Coalition.

And back in Washington, Tiffany voted for the SPEED Act, legislation designed to accelerate federal permitting for major infrastructure projects. It passed the House 221–196 on December 18, 2025, and was backed by major tech companies including OpenAI, Micron and Microsoft as part of the push to build infrastructure needed for AI.

So yes, Tom can keep doing the aw-shucks routine about Big Tech and data centers.

The record is a little less folksy.

Urban Milwaukee: Congressman Tom Tiffany’s AI Deep Fake Campaign
https://urbanmilwaukee.com/pressrelease/congressman-tom-tiffanys-ai-deep-fake-campaign/

Tom Tiffany wants to bring Washington home to Wisconsin.

Start with the money.

Tiffany paid no Wisconsin state income tax for six years, and his business paid none for more than a decade.

Meanwhile, Trump reported more than $1.4 billion in income from crypto ventures, much of it tied to a company he co-founded with his sons, even as he mocked “affordability” as a hoax.

Then there’s trust.

Trump is pushing new restrictions on mail voting just weeks before this year’s election.

Tiffany signed onto an effort to throw out Wisconsin’s 2020 results, voted to reject the results in Arizona and Pennsylvania, and the Associated Press reports he has voted with Trump 100% of the time.

That’s the Washington record Tiffany wants to bring to Wisconsin.

Tom Tiffany claims David Crowley took roughly $350,000 from groups “profiting” from data centers. Here’s what he leaves out: that came from four union PACs representing the workers who build major construction projects: Wisconsin Laborers, IBEW, Wisconsin Pipe Trades and Operating Engineers Local 139.

Not data center corporations.
Not developers.
Not owners.
Just union workers.

Meanwhile, Tiffany took money from Robert Marchant, the sole registered lobbyist for the Wisconsin Data Center Coalition, which opposed legislation banning secret data center NDAs.

There’s a big difference between workers backing a pro-union candidate and an industry lobbyist writing a check. Tiffany hopes you won’t notice.
