After being a rumored candidate for several weeks, you will now find U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany running for Wisconsin Governor on the Republican ticket. Tiffany, representing Wisconsin's 7th District in Congress, announced his run Tuesday afternoon. A veteran of both chambers of the Wisconsin Legislature, Tiffany vowed not to let the state follow the lead of Democratic-run Minnesota and Illinois, saying that "common sense will prevail." He is the third Republican to join the fray, joining Washington County Executive Josh Schoeman and Milwaukee businessman Bill Berrien, who announced their bid on the Republican side earlier this year. Madison lawmaker Francesca Hong, State Senator Kelda Roys, Lt. Governor Sara Rodriguez, and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley are all in the Democratic primary field. Other names from both parties have been floated to join the primary field, which will be trimmed down during the August 2026 election.
