GET ME REWRITE: 83-year-old former Governor Tommy Thompson must have nothing good to say about Wisconsin embarrassment and House Freedom Caucus Crazy Tom Tiffany

 

Headline:  Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 10/2/2025

Molly Beck reports:

Tommy Thompson, who was governor between 1987 and 2001, said this week he is "seriously considering" joining the 2026 Republican primary for governor. 

"I am still looking at it and I'm seriously looking at it," Thompson, 83, said in an interview on WTMJ. "So that's what goes into it but no decision has been made. But it's certainly something that is not too far removed from my brain." 

Thompson did not return a phone call from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Earlier this year, Thompson downplayed the idea to the Journal Sentinel but noted he's in "great shape." 

If elected, Thompson would be 85 when he would take office in January 2027.
