Tom Tiffany (WI-07) sent a letter to school administrators and staff encouraging them to make the best decisions for their schools for the 2021-2022 school year.

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Rep. Tiffany (WI-07) sent a letter to Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) urging both Senators to oppose the $1.9 trillion "American Rescue Plan Act of 2021."
