Before voters in northeast Wisconsin knew of Tony Wied’s plans to run for Congress, the former gas station chain owner had already scored Republicans’ most sought-after endorsement: Donald Trump.
Wied met with the former president for the first time during Trump’s campaign rally in Green Bay early last month. Trump autographed a document Wied brought detailing his plans to run, and he publicly endorsed him soon after — one day before Wied formally announced his candidacy.
“We need political outsiders who are willing to put Wisconsin families first and deliver America First policies and stand with our next president, Donald J. Trump,” Wied said during his campaign launch. Among the reasons he listed for running: to give Trump “an ally he’ll need in Congress.”
It's a familiar picture in Wisconsin
