7th Congressional District Representative Tom Tiffany.
WASHINGTON, DC (WSAU) — Wisconsin 7th Congressional District Representative Tom Tiffany voted against a $40 billion supplemental funding bill for Ukraine as they continue to fight off Russian forces.
“The federal government cannot continue to shell out billions for an overseas conflict when working-class Americans are struggling to find baby formula at their local grocery store and their paychecks are being wiped out by record gas prices and the worst inflation in 40 years,” said Congressman Tiffany through a press release. “Spending tens of billions in foreign aid month after month while American families struggle to pay their bills is not what I was sent to Congress to do.”
Tiffany was the only one of Wisconsin’s eight representatives to vote against the funding.
The Northwoods Republican added that he continues to condemn the invasion, something that the Kremlin has sanctioned him for, but he feels “American taxpayers cannot continue to finance an open-ended European conflict.”
The final vote in the House was 368-57, and the Senate is expected to pass the measure today as well.
