Tom Tiffany won the Wisconsin GOP’s official endorsement for governor at the state convention, where leaders pressed activists to unite behind him for November.
A 20-point April state Supreme Court election defeat had fueled calls to oust party chair Brian Schimming, but no new challenge emerged at the weekend gathering.
Ron Johnson, Scott Walker and Tommy Thompson all used the convention stage to denounce infighting and argue Republicans can retake momentum if they stay unified.
Tiffany centered his pitch on repealing Tony Evers’ 400-year school-funding veto, auditing state agencies and opposing Chinese land purchases and AI data-center development.
Brian Schimming closed the convention by declaring the party had avoided the leadership fight Democrats wanted and was leaving Wisconsin Dells unified behind Tiffany.
