WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) – A deal reached between Wisconsin Rep. Tom Tiffany and President Trump will deliver millions of dollars in federal disaster help to Wisconsin.
According to a Truth Social post, Trump announced on Tuesday that Wisconsin will get $22.6 million in federal disaster relief to aid communities in recovering from the terrible storms, tornadoes, and flooding that hit the state this spring.
“The wonderful people of Wisconsin are in good hands with Tom,” Trump wrote, while also reaffirming that Tiffany has his “Complete and Total Endorsement” for governor.
In a post on X, Tiffany stated that “When severe weather hit Wisconsin, I called the White House to help secure the federal support our state needs,” and “I appreciate President Trump and his administration for their partnership as we work together to help every affected community recover.”
Gov. Tony Evers responded to the announcement in a post on X stating that, “while he (Trump) plays politics with disaster funds, Wisconsin needs to rebuild after multiple severe weather events over the last year.” He further noted that previous requests for aid by his office had been declined.
