MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Candidates for Congress in northern Wisconsin are staking out their positions.
7th District Representative Tom Tiffany is running for governor, and Jessi Ebben is the first Republican in the race.
“I am a Trump Republican and I’m going to make sure that we get government out of the way so that we can have strong businesses, strong communities and strong employees with good paying jobs,” Ebben said.
Democrat Fred Clark says he’s been spurred to run by what he sees in Washington.
“Seeing a Congress that has just failed in their most basic responsibilities to serve as a co-equal branch of government,” Clark said.
Clark served with Tiffany when both were in the state Assembly and will face Chris Armstrong in a Democratic primary. Ebben ran for Congress in the 3rd District in 2020, losing to Derrick Van Orden in the Republican primary. She and her family have since moved into Tiffany’s district.
