N. WISCONSIN - Two Republican candidates have thrown their hats into the ring to replace Representative Tom Tiffany, who is running for Governor.  Jessi Ebben has positioned herself as a staunch Trump ally and political outsider. As part of her campaign, she vows to stand with law enforcement, collecting endorsements from the Vilas and Oneida County sheriff’s offices.  Michael Alfonso is the other Republican candidate. Alfonso says he wants to be a creator of change. Alfonso says his political journey started after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and he says he wants to continue Kirk’s legacy.  Alfonso is the son-in-law of current Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. Both vie for the 7th congressional seat.
