1
00:00:00,667 --> 00:00:01,034
David Crowley has won

2
00:00:01,101 --> 00:00:02,870
the 2026 Democratic primary

3
00:00:02,936 --> 00:00:04,705
election for Wisconsin governor.

4
00:00:04,771 --> 00:00:05,339
And that's what's

5
00:00:05,405 --> 00:00:05,939
going to be different

6
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:06,773
with this election

7
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:07,608
making sure that we're

8
00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:09,276
crisscrossing across the state

9
00:00:09,343 --> 00:00:10,744
to bring as many people

10
00:00:10,811 --> 00:00:12,513
back into the Democratic Party.

11
00:00:12,579 --> 00:00:13,580
Crowley will now face

12
00:00:13,647 --> 00:00:14,848
Republican Tom Tiffany

13
00:00:14,915 --> 00:00:15,616
who also won

14
00:00:15,682 --> 00:00:17,117
his primary election this week.

15
00:00:17,184 --> 00:00:18,185
I see the direction

16
00:00:18,252 --> 00:00:20,687
that our state is going in

17
00:00:20,754 --> 00:00:21,722
and I know that

18
00:00:21,788 --> 00:00:22,990
we can do better.

19
00:00:23,056 --> 00:00:24,491
You know we can do better

20
00:00:24,558 --> 00:00:25,158
don't you?

21
00:00:25,225 --> 00:00:25,993
I'm Steven Potter

22
00:00:26,059 --> 00:00:26,860
a reporter with

23
00:00:26,927 --> 00:00:28,262
PBS Wisconsin News.

24
00:00:28,328 --> 00:00:29,196
Crowley and Tiffany

25
00:00:29,263 --> 00:00:29,930
now have less than

26
00:00:29,997 --> 00:00:31,532
90 days before the Nov. 3rd

27
00:00:31,598 --> 00:00:32,332
general election

28
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:34,067
to convince Wisconsin voters

29
00:00:34,134 --> 00:00:34,868
why one of them

30
00:00:34,935 --> 00:00:35,869
should serve as governor

31
00:00:35,936 --> 00:00:37,204
the next four years.

32
00:00:37,271 --> 00:00:38,305
Crowley's resume includes

33
00:00:38,372 --> 00:00:39,773
working as a campaign organizer

34
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,408
and a legislative aide.

35
00:00:41,475 --> 00:00:42,342
He was first elected

36
00:00:42,409 --> 00:00:43,310
as a state representative

37
00:00:43,377 --> 00:00:45,345
for Milwaukee in 2016.

38
00:00:45,779 --> 00:00:46,580
He was then elected

39
00:00:46,647 --> 00:00:47,848
Milwaukee County Executive

40
00:00:47,915 --> 00:00:49,283
in 2020.

41
00:00:49,349 --> 00:00:50,217
Crowley is known

42
00:00:50,284 --> 00:00:51,451
as a moderate Democrat.

43
00:00:51,518 --> 00:00:52,953
Previously, Tom Tiffany worked

44
00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:54,288
in the petroleum industry

45
00:00:54,354 --> 00:00:56,390
and as a river cruise operator.

46
00:00:56,456 --> 00:00:57,391
He was first elected

47
00:00:57,457 --> 00:00:58,759
to the Wisconsin State Assembly

48
00:00:58,825 --> 00:01:00,194
in 2010 to represent

49
00:01:00,260 --> 00:01:02,196
an area north of Wausau.

50
00:01:02,262 --> 00:01:03,030
He won a seat in the

51
00:01:03,096 --> 00:01:04,364
U.S. House of Representatives

52
00:01:04,431 --> 00:01:05,132
for a large part of

53
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:07,434
northern Wisconsin in 2020.

54
00:01:07,501 --> 00:01:08,468
Tiffany is known

55
00:01:08,535 --> 00:01:09,903
as a staunch conservative.

56
00:01:09,970 --> 00:01:11,038
Crowley beat several other

57
00:01:11,104 --> 00:01:12,372
Democratic candidates during

58
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:13,040
a very messy

59
00:01:13,106 --> 00:01:14,708
primary campaign season

60
00:01:14,775 --> 00:01:16,009
where he initially dropped out

61
00:01:16,076 --> 00:01:16,910
of the race and then

62
00:01:16,977 --> 00:01:18,612
jumped back in.

63
00:01:18,679 --> 00:01:19,680
Tiffany faced only

64
00:01:19,746 --> 00:01:21,014
nominal opposition from

65
00:01:21,081 --> 00:01:22,015
one other Republican.

66
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:23,383
Next, Crowley and Tiffany

67
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:24,051
will make their case

68
00:01:24,117 --> 00:01:25,219
to voters as to why

69
00:01:25,285 --> 00:01:26,186
one of them should lead

70
00:01:26,253 --> 00:01:27,821
the state forward as governor.

71
00:01:27,888 --> 00:01:28,956
