Summary
Governor Tony Evers shocks the political scene by endorsing Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley in the Democratic governor’s race — a move that defies his usual neutrality and comes after Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez’s exit due to finance troubles. Crowley, just 40 and the state’s first Black county executive, is now back in the race against rivals like Mandela Barnes and Francesca Hong, with Evers’ backing seen as a major boost. His journey from childhood homelessness to state office adds emotional weight to his campaign, and if elected, he’d become Wisconsin’s first Black governor. With the primary just weeks away and Republicans holding power for over a decade, Democrats are counting on a strong showing to flip the statehouse — and Crowley’s late surge, backed by Evers, could be the key to victory.
