David Crowley has won
the 2026 Democratic primary
election for Wisconsin governor.
And that's what's
going to be different
with this election
making sure that we're
crisscrossing across the state
to bring as many people
back into the Democratic Party.
Crowley will now face
Republican Tom Tiffany
who also won
his primary election this week.
I see the direction
that our state is going in
and I know that
we can do better.
You know we can do better
don't you?

Crowley and Tiffany
now have less than
90 days before the Nov. 3rd
general election
to convince Wisconsin voters
why one of them
should serve as governor
the next four years.
Crowley's resume includes
working as a campaign organizer
and a legislative aide.
He was first elected
as a state representative
for Milwaukee in 2016.
He was then elected
Milwaukee County Executive
in 2020.
Crowley is known
as a moderate Democrat.
Previously, Tom Tiffany worked
in the petroleum industry
and as a river cruise operator.
He was first elected
to the Wisconsin State Assembly
in 2010 to represent
an area north of Wausau.
He won a seat in the
U.S. House of Representatives
for a large part of
northern Wisconsin in 2020.
Tiffany is known
as a staunch conservative.
Crowley beat several other
Democratic candidates during
a very messy
primary campaign season
where he initially dropped out
of the race and then
jumped back in.
Tiffany faced only
nominal opposition from
one other Republican.
Next, Crowley and Tiffany
will make their case
to voters as to why
one of them should lead
the state forward as governor.
