The Examiner sought comment from Tiffany multiple times including approaching him at a campaign event in Oconomowoc. Staffers physically blocked the Examiner reporter from being able to get a response.

Some of his ties include flying to Maricopa Co. in 2021 (he said there was more fraud in Wisconsin than in Arizona), not believing Hovde lost to Baldwin in 2021 & having Harry Wait, another WI election conspiracy theorist who was recently convicted of breaking state law, to speak at a meeting.

Also in this story, the day before Tiffany's campaign prevented a Journal-Sentinel reporter from covering an event, two campaign staffers physically boxed me out while I tried to ask Tiffany about the conspiracy theories espoused by his pilot

The Examiner approached Tiffany for comment for this story at a campaign event in Waukesha County Wednesday evening. Tiffany ducked into his car while two of Tiffany’s staff members, including Alex Walker, the son of former Gov. Scott Walker, physically blocked a reporter as he asked a question.

@henry-redman.bsky.social and I dug into the ties the pilot for Tom Tiffany has to election conspiracy politics "I don’t think there’s any question that Tom [Tiffany] will win if we can stop some of the cheating… Cheating is all they’ve got." Boltz said at a Langlade County GOP meeting in June.

Hong shows up to thank volunteers. "In 11 weeks, no matter who's on this ballot, we are going to fight to win for one another," Hong said. "We will win together united. Because everyone who's running in this race they know that we can make better possible and we must make better possible."
