Tom Tiffany: A Conservative Voice for Wisconsin’s Northwoods

Representative Tom Tiffany’s political identity is inextricably linked to the sprawling, rural landscape of northern Wisconsin. As a longtime small business owner and a veteran of the state legislature, he brings a fiercely conservative and independent perspective to Washington, shaped by the economic and cultural values of his district.

Tiffany’s career before politics was in tourism. For more than two decades, he and his wife owned and operated a wilderness tour boat company, giving him a firsthand understanding of the challenges facing small business owners and the importance of the region’s natural resources to the local economy. This experience inspired him to run for office, and in 2010 he was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly. He later won a seat in the State Senate in 2012. During his near-decade in the state legislature, he became a prominent and sometimes controversial conservative leader, known for championing mining, forestry, and property rights.

In 2020, following the resignation of the sitting congressman, Tiffany won a special election to represent Wisconsin’s 7th District. In the U.S. House, he has continued his focus on natural resource issues as a member of the House Natural Resources Committee. He is also a key member of the House Judiciary Committee, where he is involved in debates on immigration, crime, and constitutional issues.

Known as one of the most consistently conservative members of the House, Rep. Tiffany is a member of the House Freedom Caucus. He is a staunch advocate for limited government, fiscal responsibility, and what he terms “economic freedom,” which includes reducing regulations on industries vital to his district, such as timber and mining.
