Democrat David Crowley Wins Wisconsin Governor’s Race, Becomes State’s First Black Governor
Crowley defeated Tom Tiffany after a turbulent campaign and a late Evers endorsement, giving Democrats continued control of the governor’s office.
- On Tuesday, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley defeated Republican Rep. Tom Tiffany in the Wisconsin governor's race, becoming the state's first Black governor.
- Crowley's campaign overcame a tumultuous primary after he suspended his bid in July, relaunching 10 days later with backing from Gov. Tony Evers to defeat democratic socialist Francesca Hong.
- Raised in a poor Milwaukee neighborhood, Crowley ran on affordability, proposing to expand Medicaid and overturn Act 10, the 15-year-old state law that restricted collective bargaining rights for public workers.
- The victory keeps the governor's office under Democratic control for the first time in more than eight consecutive years, marking a significant party milestone in Wisconsin politics.
- Crowley now faces a divided government; Democrats have not held full control of state government since 2010, forcing him to navigate legislative hurdles while addressing voter concerns about his tax proposals.
