Time & time again, Wisconsinites have made it clear that we want our leaders to fully fund public education.

But throughout his career, Tom Tiffany has done the exact opposite.

Tell Tiffany his record on education does not reflect the priorities of Wisconsinites at 202-225-3365.

Right-wing politicians want to erase LGBTQ+ experiences, history, & identities by banning books in schools & libraries.

We won’t let them succeed - fight back by reading & buying LGBTQ+ books.

We need Congress to lower everyday costs—not raise them.

But WI Republicans like Tom Tiffany & Bryan Steil voted to pass the MAGA budget bill, which is expected to raise energy bills by hundreds of dollars for Wisconsin families.

Demand they take action to lower costs at 202-224-3121.

Energy bills are on the rise — and GOP efforts to gut clean energy projects & eliminate tax savings are to blame.

We need immediate action to bring costs down, but Tom Tiffany is instead backing Trump’s failed agenda that’s hurting Wisconsinites.

Demand real solutions at 202-225-3365.

WI Republicans would rather shut down the government than help Wisconsinites keep their healthcare.

Now, healthcare costs will spike for ACA enrollees, thousands will lose coverage, & vital services could be delayed if Congress doesn’t act fast.

Demand immediate action at 202-224-3121.

ACA enrollees are expected to face rising healthcare costs, & thousands could lose coverage—all because WI Republicans like Tom Tiffany refused to extend the ACA tax credits, choosing instead to shut down the government.

Demand an immediate solution today at 202-224-3121.
