The FDA has lost nearly 4,300 employees and USDA's meat inspection service about 900 since the start of 2025. On June 4, both Wisconsin Republicans voted for a bill cutting the agriculture and FDA budget another 1.4% — one that, in the Appropriations Committee's own words, reduces salaries and expenses 'to account for staffing reductions.'

Asked in Superior about union support, Tiffany said he doesn't worry about the 'kingpins.' The roll calls show he was the sole non-voter on the PRO Act, and voted no on ending forced arbitration for sexual harassment claims.

H.R. 1232 would delete the part of federal labor law that lets a union and an employer agree everyone covered by a contract helps pay for it — in all 50 states, whatever each state decided. Missouri voters killed right-to-work 67-33. Michigan repealed it. Their congressmen signed anyway.
Tiffany voted for Act 10 in 2011 and has cosponsored a national right-to-work bill in three different terms. He is running for governor as a dairy-farm kid who understands working people.
Van Orden posted AI-generated videos putting words in Rebecca Cooke's mouth. Wisconsin's synthetic media law requires an on-screen AI label. His posts didn't have one.
A year ago Americans were split on AI data centers. Now 75% oppose one in their area. These eight Republicans spent that year helping the build-out along, taking the industry's money, or both. Five have spent the last few weeks repositioning. Three are still making the industry's case.
