Campaign Funding
Although he currently serves in the U.S. House, Tiffany’s active 2026 committee is his gubernatorial campaign, which files with the Wisconsin Ethics Commission (CFIS), not the FEC. Wisconsin does not publish a consolidated independent-expenditure total in the same feed, so outside spending is shown as not disclosed. Raised $7.5M for the 2026 cycle (Jul 2026 filing (gubernatorial campaign committee)), filed with Wisconsin Ethics Commission — Campaign Finance.
Total raised (cycle 2026): $7,500,000 · Outside influence: Low
