President Donald Trump endorsed Republican Tom Tiffany for Wisconsin governor Tuesday night.

Tiffany, a congressman, is a leader on the Republican side of the race with Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann and Andy Manske already in the race and a wide-ranging Democratic race including Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez, former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, state Rep. Francesca Hong and Milwaukee County executive David Crowley.

“I endorsed Tom for Congress early and strong, and he won, BIG,” Trump wrote on social media. “Likewise, he has always been at my side. A very successful Businessman, Family Farmer, and State Legislator, prior to becoming a distinguished United States Congressman, Tom is a Proven Leader who has dedicated his life to serving his Community.

“As your next Governor, Tom will continue to work tirelessly to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Strengthen our Brave Military/Veterans, Advance Election Integrity, Advocate for the Working Men and Women of Wisconsin, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.”

Tiffany thanked Trump for the support.

“"I’m grateful for the overwhelming support we have received since launching this campaign, and I’m especially honored to earn President Trump’s endorsement,” Tiffany said in a statement. “Just one year into his second term, wages are rising, gas prices are down, our economy is growing, and our border is secure.

"For seven years, Democrat leadership has pushed our state in the wrong direction. As governor, I will make Wisconsin great again by lowering utility rates and property taxes, cutting burdensome red tape, rooting out waste and fraud, and restoring common-sense leadership to Madison."
