Failed Candidate Derrick Van Orden and Rep. Tom Tiffany Tout Restaurant Relief They Opposed

WQOW: 'Area Republicans host RRF roundtable ' - relief which is helping small business - no thanks to Republicans

Failed candidate Derrick Van Orden and Rep. Tom Tiffany said no to COVID relief for Wisconsin families by opposing and even lying about the details of the American Rescue Plan. But now, they're taking the dough and touting the Restaurant Revitalization Fund in a recent roundtable with Chippewa Valley small business owners.

Small business owners across Wisconsin are getting back on their feet after getting a critical lifeline from the Restaurant Revitalization Fund through the American Rescue Plan - no thanks to Van Orden and Tiffany.

'If Derrick Van Orden and Tom Tiffany had their way, small business owners in the Chippewa Valley would be denied the critical aid needed to get through this pandemic. It's shameful but not surprising that Van Orden is now touting the Restaurant Revitalization Fund - the very relief he promised he'd vote against - and is yet another reminder that he can't be trusted to serve the people of Wisconsin,' said DCCC spokesperson Elena Kuhn.
