MADISON, WI (WSAU) – Republican Congressman and Wisconsin governor candidate Tom Tiffany has revealed a big campaign treasure trove as the August primary election approaches.
In a press release, Tiffany stated, “Our grassroots campaign is reaching all 72 counties because the demand for common-sense leadership has never been stronger. “Wisconsinites are tired of bigger government, higher costs, and more bureaucracy. They’re ready for a governor who will cut taxes, reduce red tape, and get government out of their way. I’m truly humbled by the support we’re receiving from every corner of our state.”
Tiffany will also disclose that it raised more than $8 million during the most recent reporting period, which ran from January 1 to June 30, and that it entered the next reporting period with roughly $3 million in cash on hand.
The fundraising disclosure comes after Sara Rodriguez, a top Democrat contender for governor, acknowledged campaign finance fraud that took six months to discover. According to her campaign, the reporting errors involved “hundreds of thousands of dollars” in contributions, and Rodriguez claims to now have only $200,000 in cash on hand.
