NewzMilwaukee County Executive David Crowley has defeated democratic socialist Francesca Hong in the Wisconsin Democratic primary for governor. The race, which was projected by Decision Desk HQ, sets up a general election contest between Crowley and Republican candidate Tiffany. Crowley secured the nomination after receiving support from outgoing Governor Tony Evers.
Crowley’s victory is notable for its potential historical significance, as he could become the first Black governor of Wisconsin. While Crowley’s campaign was bolstered by establishment backing, the contest against Hong was described as a narrow victory that highlights internal party dynamics regarding the influence of the party's far-left flank.
