On March 1, 2021, congressmen Tom Tiffany and Scott Perry introduced a bill that called for the U.S. to abandon the "one China policy," resume formal relations with Taiwan, and begin negotiations on a U.S.-Taiwan free trade agreement. Since its introduction, the bill has gained 28 additional cosponsors, all of whom are Republicans thus far.

It’s no secret that violent crime is ravaging our country. Every single day, Americans turn on their TV after a long day of work to see another homicide, another smash-and-grab robbery, or another assault. From 2019 to 2020, Wisconsin experienced a 62% increase in murders, and we are hardly alone. In 2021, twelve major Democrat-controlled cities broke annual homicide records, and just this year, homicide rates across the country have increased roughly 50% compared to this time in 2019.

“The U.S. can’t afford to be dependent on adversarial foreign countries, like China and Russia, for critical minerals,” said Rep. Tom Tiffany (R., Wis.), who sponsored the legislation. “Ukraine is not an adversary and has some of the largest titanium deposits in Europe.”

We’ve had two years of one-party rule as Democrats control the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate. The results are not good. 

The town of Gordon has had a post office for 162 years. When they learned it was set to close, residents turned out in droves for a rally at the post office Oct. 20 and inundated the United States Postal Service phone lines with calls. A petition to save the site garnered more signatures that the town's population. The movement to retain the Gordon Post Office received support from both state Rep. Nick Milroy, D-South Range and U.S. Congressman Tom Tiffany, R-Hazelhurst, as well as Sen. Ron Johnson’s office.

Rep. Tom Tiffany, who represents Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District, also sent a letter to the USPS encouraging them to find a way to stay open.

The issue has also caught the attention of some politicians representing Wisconsin. Congressman Tom Tiffany, a republican, sent a letter to the postmaster general’s office asking for the facility to be kept open. Democratic state representative Nick Milroy of the 73rd district was at the rally to speak up about the issue.

In a statement, Rep. Tom Tiffany said he sent a letter to the Postmaster General urging USPS to reconsider its decision to close the Gordon Post Office.
