🚨 POLL: Should more Republicans run for office?
Republican Tom Tiffany won the special election in Wisconsin’s 7th District on May 11, according to the Hill.
Tiffany is now filling the vacancy left by former Rep. Sean Duffy.
“Tom Tiffany (@TomTiffanyWI) is a Great Advocate for the incredible people of Wisconsin (WI07). We need Tom in Congress to help us Make America Great Again!” Trump tweeted Monday.

The former state Senator defeated Democrat Tricia Zunker for the position.
Duffy resigned in September in anticipation of the birth of a child who was expected to have health complications.
Tiffany will serve for the rest of Fuffy’s term and will have to compete again in November if he is seeking a full term of his own.
