MADISON – Tom Tiffany will keep his seat as the U.S. Representative of the 7th District.
Tiffany, 66, was reelected Tuesday, defeating Democratic challenger Kyle Kilbourn.
Kilbourn, a resident of the Northwoods, has worked as a web designer at a medical device manufacturer and most recently worked as a design strategist for Target.
Tiffany, who lives in Minocqua, has campaigned as a hawk on border security and stricter immigration laws. On his website, he calls for curtailing federal spending, support for gun rights and opposing taxpayer money for abortions.
Tiffany was elected to Congress in May 2020, taking over the seat formerly held by Sean Duffy after he stepped down to spend more time with his family. He was reelected in 2022.
Before serving in Washington, D.C., Tiffany was a state senator for seven years. In Congress, his time has been marked by comments expressing his concern over the results of the 2020 presidential campaign. He and U.S. Rep. Scott Fitzgerald of Wisconsin voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Arizona and Pennsylvania and said they would have done so for Wisconsin if its outcome had been subject of a vote.
