Tiffany Responds To Evers’ Retirement: 'Wisconsinites Deserve Better'

PRESS RELEASE

Today, Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) released the following statement after Governor Tony Evers announced his retirement.

"I thank Governor Evers for his years of service and wish him well as he announces his retirement. However, he leaves behind a legacy of decline—under the ‘education governor,’ student achievement has fallen behind Mississippi, Wisconsin faces a structural deficit, and energy costs now rank second highest in the Midwest. Wisconsinites deserve better. It’s time we change course before we end up like Minnesota and Illinois."
