Tom Tiffany’s campaign for governor has launched a new statewide ad that shares his plans to lower taxes and give money back to Wisconsin families.
The ad, called “A Wisconsin You Can Afford,” focuses on three main parts of Tiffany’s plan to make life more affordable. He wants to cut income taxes by 10 percent for working families who make less than $150,000 a year, give back all of the state’s $3 billion budget surplus to taxpayers, and stop the 400-year property tax increase that came from Evers’ partial veto.
“Wisconsin families don’t need government taking more of their money. They need relief,” Tiffany said in a statement with the ad. “My plan will cut income taxes for working families, return every dollar of the state surplus to taxpayers, and end the 400-year property tax increase. These aren’t Republican or Democratic issues. They’re about making Wisconsin more affordable for everyone. We will deliver more money in your paycheck, a home you can own, and a Wisconsin you can afford.”
The ad adds to the eight-point affordability plan Tiffany shared in August. That plan also aims to remove state income taxes on tips and overtime, stop more sales tax increases, lower utility costs, get rid of the state’s minimum markup law on fuel, and make regulatory changes. Heartland Post reported that Tiffany compared his plan directly to Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley’s record of raising the county sales tax and property tax levy, while opposing income tax cuts for the middle class in the Legislature.

Tiffany has promised to give working families a 10 percent income tax cut and return the surplus in his first budget. He also said he would end the 400-year property tax increase before working on a freeze to help homeowners feel more secure. On November 3, voters will decide on a constitutional amendment that would stop future governors from using the partial veto to create or raise taxes or fees.
The campaign said the ad is airing across Wisconsin. With three weeks left before Election Day, Tiffany is still focusing on helping taxpayers keep more of their money instead of growing government spending.
