MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin Republicans take a victory lap as the U.S. Supreme Court delivers a decision for women’s sports.
Congressman and Republican candidate for Governor Tom Tiffany released a statement after the justices ruled 6-3 on Tuesday in favor of West Virginia and Idaho against trans athletes who sued to gain access to girls’ sports.
Tiffany said it’s unfortunate that Democratic Governor Evers vetoed legislation that would have protected girls’ sports in Wisconsin and pledged to sign legislation as governor ensuring that biological males cannot compete in girls’ and women’s sports.
State Representative Barbara Dittrich who authored legislation vetoed by Evers, said in her statement that the ruling affirms the belief of an overwhelming number of Americans that biological women and girls should be protected in their sports.
