Tiffany Applauds White House’s Action to Delist Gray Wolves

September 4, 2026 Press Release WAUSAU, WI – Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) today applauded President Trump’s executive action directing the Department of the Interior to determine whether gray wolves meet the criteria for removal from protections under the Endangered Species Act and begin the process of delisting them. “The gray wolf has recovered, and the impacts are being felt across rural communities in Wisconsin. Farmers are dealing with livestock depredations, families are losing pets, and wolves are showing up closer to homes. Wisconsin has successfully managed wildlife for generations. It is time to get out-of-state judges and bureaucrats out of the way and let Wisconsin responsibly manage its wolf population,” said Congressman Tom Tiffany. Tiffany has been a leading advocate in Congress for removing the gray wolf from the federal endangered species list and returning management back to states. He authored the Pet and Livestock Protection Act , legislation to delist the gray wolf and return management authority to states like Wisconsin. The legislation passed the House with bipartisan support and awaits action in the Senate. ### Issues : Congress
