A.I. data centers, local funding, homelessness, gerrymandering, and mining were among the topics discussed with Republican Tom Tiffany in studio, as he campaigns to become Wisconsin’s next governor.

Currently serving as the U.S. House representative for Wisconsin’s 7th District, the conversation with Tiffany bridged both state and federal issues. He is one of two Republicans — along with Josh Schoemann, who appeared on La Crosse Talk back in September — running to replace Governor Tony Evers.

We opened the show with breaking news about a potential deal for China to resume purchasing U.S. soybeans. More details on that deal emerged after the interview.

After learning a bit about Tiffany’s background, the first topic we tackled was mining — something that's relevant to both northern Minnesota near the Boundary Waters and to Wisconsin.

Tiffany then discussed education, before diving into energy costs and the role of A.I. data centers in Wisconsin’s economy. We also talked about state funding for local governments and whether the state can do more to help cities address homelessness.

In the second half of the show, the conversation turned to the housing crisis, gerrymandering — and whether Tiffany would change how Wisconsin draws its voting maps. We wrapped up with a look at the ongoing government shutdown and its impact on SNAP benefits and healthcare subsidies.
