From this past weekend's RPW convention was Toxic Tom Tiffany unofficially kicking off his gubernatorial campaign. During his speech, Tiffany praised himself to be quite the vote getter:
Tiffany said he’s a proven vote-getter in rural areas as he’s racked up wins in northern Wisconsin’s 7th CD. That includes Hudson, which is on the western edge of his district. He called the community — home to a number of Minnesota transplants — as suburban as any community in the state. Tiffany said he won the city last fall and believes he can turn out the voters that a Republican needs in order to win statewide.
Tiffany has forgotten that that part of Wisconsin used to belong to Dave Obey. That was his turf until he chose not to run again.
Then, after Sean Duffy was elected, the GOP quickly gerrymandered the state so that Duffy wasn't a one and done elected official for that district.
If the state supreme court does decide to look at the congressional maps and if they do decide to correct them, depending on how the new maps look, Tiffany could be in big trouble. Perhaps that's why he's so desperate to find a new job.
