David Crowley Defeats Democratic Socialist Francesca Hong in Wisconsin Gubernatorial Primary
Crowley’s narrow win followed a late absentee-ballot count and sets up a November race against Trump-backed Rep. Tom Tiffany.
- Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley won a narrow, upset victory over democratic socialist state Rep. Francesca Hong in Wisconsin's Democratic primary for governor.
- The race marked a dramatic comeback for Crowley, who briefly suspended his campaign in July before re-entering with a late endorsement from outgoing Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.
- Hong had led in opinion polls for months, but faced headwinds in the closing weeks over scrutinized past social media posts.
- Crowley will face Republican nominee Rep. Tom Tiffany, an ally of Donald Trump, in November's general election; if elected, Crowley would become Wisconsin's first Black governor.
- The result provides establishment Democrats a key victory, halting recent primary momentum gained by progressive and democratic socialist candidates in other battleground states like Michigan.
