- Working hard and playing by the rules is no longer a ticket to a middle class life, and Washington under Trump has been devastating to Wisconsin. Having served Wisconsin in our state legislature and as LG, I’m ready to stand up to Trump to bring down costs and keep our communities safe on day one.
- No surprise that Wisconsinites are showing up and standing out for Team USA in the Winter Olympics. Let's go! spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee...
- This is who Donald Trump is, and Tom Tiffany is proudly campaigning on his endorsement all across Wisconsin.
- It was great to speak with small business owners in Milwaukee today at Harmonic Harvest. As governor, I'll fight to protect our small businesses against Trump's reckless tariffs.
- I'm fighting to create opportunity for all Wisconsinites.
- We need a governor who will fight for Wisconsin, not someone who will sell out our farmers to appease Donald Trump.
- We need leaders who will stand up for Wisconsinites, not special interests. Thank you for your support, Michelle.

- Tom Tiffany voted five times to defend Trump’s disastrous tariffs and cause damage to our small businesses, farmers, and families. #TiffanyTuesday
- Trump knows he's unpopular, and he would rather change our elections than actually do something to help working families. thegrio.com/2026/02/03/t...
- Small businesses transform our neighborhoods into communities while fueling our local economies. I’ll always show up for them and fight to make sure they have the support they deserve. Thank you Mayor Hammond for showing me some of Menasha’s best today!
- Tiffany has been a rubber stamp for Trump’s agenda, giving tax cuts to the wealthiest while making life harder for families and farmers here at home. It’s time to reject Trump’s chaos and the Washington Way and get things done the Wisconsin Way. That’s what I’ll do as Governor.
- On #TiffanyTuesday, Tom Tiffany is blaming Democrats and ignoring reality instead of condemning Trump’s ICE for senselessly killing a U.S. citizen. Shameful. Wisconsin deserves a governor who holds ICE & Trump accountable.
- Burnett County showed out! The cold couldn’t stop any of us from enjoying some chili and conversation about how we can move our state forward.
- I'm committed to being a partner to all 72 counties across Wisconsin. That doesn't just mean just showing up, it means actually listening and delivering results. Happy to have you on the team, Grant!
- It’s been more than a day since a VA nurse was gunned down in cold blood by Trump’s ICE in Minneapolis. While other Republicans in Congress have called for accountability and investigations, Tom Tiffany has yet to say a single thing. That silence is damning.
- My statement on the events in Minnesota today:
- I am honored to earn the endorsement of Frances Huntley-Cooper. Her leadership has paved the road for many and her commitment to our community has inspired so many, including myself. Together, we keep building.
- Wisconsin, stay safe and warm with the extreme cold across our state! Limit time outdoors and check in on your neighbors. Find your local warming shelters: 211wisconsin.communityos.org/searchresult...
- There is someone on track to become a trillionaire in this country, while people are struggling to even put food on the table. I call BS — it's time for everyone to pay their fair share and to deliver tax relief for working families.
- He's right. Time to get it done.
- 53 years after Roe, Wisconsin still has an 1849 abortion ban on the books. It’s far past time to enshrine the Roe standard into law in Wisconsin and protect reproductive rights.
- Pre-forum Conejitos 💯
- Grocery stores across the state are closing because of tariffs, inflation, and cuts to SNAP. I’ve got a plan to keep them open and support our family farmers.
- Trump’s first year back was a disaster for Wisconsin families. And Tom Tiffany backed him every step of the way as he gutted healthcare, raised prices, and fueled inflation. On #TiffanyTuesday, let’s break down exactly why Wisconsin can’t afford Tom Tiffany as Governor 🧵⬇️
- Dr. King’s core principles of justice, fairness, and equality demand courage in this moment, but with hope and urgency we must recommit ourselves to staying in the fight for progress. We owe it to not only those who came before us, but for the generations to come.
- Thank you to Sherman Avenue Church and Reverend David Hart for welcoming me to deliver remarks during your MLK worship. As people of faith we have a responsibility to stand up to those trying to divide us.
- At least 17k Wisconsinites will go without health care because Tom Tiffany voted to send prices skyrocketing. We can't let this man become the next Governor. www.jsonline.com/story/news/2...
- For today’s #TiffanyTuesday… Let’s remember that when the spotlight hit his record, Tom Tiffany chose the delete button, wiping his extreme views from his website.
- We deserve leaders that will show up, listen, and deliver for every Wisconsinite. Proud to have the support Oshkosh City Council member DJ Nichols!
- Wisconsin is known as America’s Dairyland because our dairy farmers work tirelessly everyday not just to feed our state, but to feed our country. Grateful for their hard work always, but especially today as we celebrate National Milk Day!
- It’s go time, let’s go packers 🧀 The Packers are America’s team, but for 40% of our state they won’t even be Wisconsin’s team without an Amazon subscription. Time to get greed out of the NFL.
- Corporate greed & the bears still suck.
- I met with farmers in Tiffany’s district yesterday who are getting priced out of health insurance thanks to him and Trump’s other puppets voting to end the ACA tax credits. Farmers feed our state and fuel our economy— this is unacceptable. www.leadertelegram.com/news/daily-u...
- Saturday, millions of Wisconsinites won't be able to watch the Packers because of corporate greed. Football should be for the fans, not just subscribers.
- Tom Tiffany had another chance to change his mind, but just voted AGAIN to raise your health care costs. At every chance he gets, Trump lackey chooses billionaires over working families. Tiffany won't do what we need him to do, just what Trump wants him to do.
- Trump said he would deport criminals, instead Americans are being killed. Nothing about sending masked agents into our streets without accountability is making us safer. My heart is with Minnesota today and the victim’s family. This should have never happened.
- We are hours away from 2026... & our first fundraising deadline. This is our toughest one yet having just entered the race 29 days ago. Chip in what you can before the new year and let's finally get a blue trifecta in Wisconsin in 2026! secure.actblue.com/donate/mb-so...
- Happy New Year, Wisconsin! Our campaign is only warming up and I can’t wait to see you all on the trail in 2026. Wisconsin deserves leaders who listen, fight, and deliver for them. That’s the promise I’m working toward and the future we can win for Wisconsin.
- Another vote Tom Tiffany took to take away healthcare from Wisconsinites. We need leaders who will expand access to affordable healthcare, that includes the lifesaving care from our Planned Parenthood clinics. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...
- We're just two days out from our first big fundraising deadline & the polls show I am leading the likely GOP candidate… 🔵Barnes (D) 50% 🔴Tiffany (R) 44% But they’re already spreading misinformation and building up their dark money. Help us fight back ⤵️ secure.actblue.com/donate/mb-so...
