[upbeat music] - Hi, I'm Tom Tiffany and I'm running to represent Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District.
I grew up on a dairy farm near Elmwood, Wisconsin, and many Wisconsinites know that farming isn't easy.
Every day, you are presented with a new challenge.
Whether it's a sick cow or equipment breaking down, these experiences taught me the values of hard work and problem-solving skills I still use in Congress today.
From helping residents to receive tax refunds to assisting veterans, I believe in delivering results.
That's why in Congress I've helped return more than $7 million back to my constituents.
It has also been a goal of mine to bring Wisconsin common sense to Washington.
When I served in the state legislature, Wisconsinites saw what balancing a budget and cutting wasteful spending could do.
Unfortunately, in Washington, the national debt has ballooned to over $35 trillion.
That's why I support a balanced budget amendment.
This would not only help pay down the deficit, but it'll also protect vital programs like Social Security.
One of the hardest-hit groups by this reckless spending is our seniors.
It's important that we adopt President Trump's policy of removing the double tax on Social Security benefits and ensuring accurate cost of living adjustments.
You'd think it is also common sense to keep biological men out of women's sports, but Democrats in Congress opposed a bill to do that.
As a father of three daughters, ensuring Title IX continues to create a fair playing field is a top priority for me.
Growing up on a dairy farm, you also quickly learned the impact of diesel, gas, and electricity prices.
Wisconsinites have seen this firsthand under the Biden-Harris administration after they issued drilling bans and canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Prices for groceries have surged by 21%.
Gas prices are up over 50%.
By streamlining permitting regulations and keeping reliable energy sources online, we can boost the cleanest energy production in the world and lower prices.
Projects like the Nemadji Trail Center and Line 5 would also create good-paying jobs in Wisconsin.
We have recently seen union workers, including 58% of Teamsters, shift their support to Trump.
Why?
Because Republicans have solutions to provide opportunities for hardworking Americans.
The latest job numbers show us that job gains are going to foreign-born workers.
This not only harms American workers, but immigration under Biden and Harris has also overwhelmed community resources and led to a surge in fentanyl poisonings and violent crime.
Wisconsin isn't immune to this burden, as we've seen in Whitewater where local resources have been strained.
In Prairie du Chien, a Venezuelan illegal alien released by Biden and Harris sexually assaulted a woman and abused a child.
In Abbotsford, an illegal alien stabbed three people.
And in Rusk County, an illegal alien's repeat drunk driving left three daughters without their father.
These tragedies are a direct result of this administration's failed border policies.
According to ICE, Biden and Harris release over 75% of the illegal aliens encountered at the border into U.S. neighborhoods.
We need to end catch and release, re-implement a Remain in Mexico policy, and complete the border wall.
For two decades, my wife and I owned and operated wilderness cruises in the Northwoods.
Running a small business, especially dealing with government regulations and taxes, is what inspired me to get involved in politics.
Under Kamala Harris's plan, if your small business or family farm's assets, like the land and equipment, are worth more than $3.5 million, a hefty tax would be placed on your children when they inherit it.
This would force many Wisconsin farms to sell off.
By reining in spending, unleashing American energy, and securing our borders, we can make America affordable and safe again.
I hope to earn your vote on November 5.
