Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District candidate Michael Alfonso said on Breitbart News on Saturday that voters want Congress to act and help make President Donald Trump’s agenda more lasting.
Alfonso, who is endorsed by President Trump and is the son-in-law of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, told Breitbart News Washington bureau chief Matt Boyle that it is “pretty humbling” to have Trump’s support and that “every day” he is “going to work to make sure I live up to that endorsement.”
Triumph fixed in May, “Michael Alfonso has been a winner his entire life,” adding that he “comes from a truly spectacular family” and has their “complete and total endorsement” to represent Wisconsin’s Seventh Congressional District.
When asked what he hears from voters while campaigning with his wife, Evita, Alfonso said people in the district “want to see action” and are frustrated that “Congress is not giving President Trump the support he needs.”
Alfonso said Trump is “doing an incredible job” through executive orders and “closing our border,” but added that voters are concerned that “in three years, when Trump is no longer president,” some of that progress could be lost “at the stroke of a pen.”
“We don’t have the Save Act as law yet,” Alfonso said, describing that and other similar priorities as “things that I’m going to work very hard to get passed.”
Boyle also asked Alfonso about Trump’s alleged negotiations involving Iran, the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear program, noting that the issue has generated both criticism and support. Alfonso said he is “fully supported.”
“President Trump ran to be the president of peace, no more eternal wars,” Alfonso said. “He came in and we’re going out.”
Alfonso maintained that “only President Trump could denuclearize Iran in this short time,” while keeping the country “on track” toward “lower gas prices,” and called Trump’s handling of the matter “a master class in negotiation.”
“He’s the negotiator,” Alfonso said of Trump, adding that “anyone who really doubted him doesn’t know President Trump.”
Discussing the Iran deal further, Alfonso described it as “the beauty of this peace deal,” adding that it is “not a real peace deal,” but “just a memorandum of understanding.”
Alfonso said the deal sends the message that “if Iran plays ball and starts following some rules, it can be part of this global economy,” while saying the United States is “better off now than it was under the Biden administration.”
Boyle then turned to Democrats’ campaign messaging on affordability and asked Alfonso about what he described as a pattern of Democrats relying on affordability while pursuing left-wing policies after taking office. Alfonso described that message as “the big lie of the left of my entire life.”
“They keep telling you that they care about the middle class,” Alfonso said, “but their only speech towards the middle class is full-blown Marxism.”
Alfonso referred to Wisconsin’s struggles during former Gov. Scott Walker’s tenure, saying Walker’s recall effort marked “the beginning of the Marxist attack” on the state and describing protests at the time as “just riots to intimidate people.”
He also referenced the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, saying there was “destruction of property on a scale we have never seen in the United States,” while criticizing CNN for calling the riots “fiery, but mostly peaceful.”
Alfonso warned that Democrats have moved toward “full-blown Marxism,” pointing to Zohran Mamdani and saying that Democrats are offering voters policies like “an asset tax,” while claiming that such measures would only target “the rich.”
“The choice is simple,” Alfonso said. “Do you want free-market American conservative family values or do you want Marxism?”
In the 2026 midterms, Boyle said Republicans may have a chance to “defy history” and maintain or expand their congressional majorities, despite the usual pattern of midterm backlash against the president’s party. Alfonso said that while some media figures talk about a “blue wave,” the situation looks different “when you actually get on the ground and talk to people.”
Alfonso, who said he was “in line for a parade” during the interview, said voters understand Democrats as “the party that confiscates assets, boys in girls’ bathrooms and defunds the police.”
“This is not a winning message,” Alfonso said, contrasting Democrats with Republicans, whom he described as “the party of free markets, family values and conservatism.”
Alfonso said he thinks Republicans are well-positioned heading into November, telling Boyle, “I really think Republicans just don’t have a shot at it,” adding that he sees the GOP as “the favorite to keep the House.”
