Gov. Tony Evers to endorse David Crowley in Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary
Evers’ backing gives Crowley a boost as Democrats try to unify after Rodriguez’s exit and fend off a progressive upset, with 9 candidates on the ballot.
- Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley announced his return to the Wisconsin governor's race on Saturday, less than two weeks after suspending his campaign earlier this month.
- Governor Sara Rodriguez suspended her campaign on Friday after discovering her account was more than $1 million short of expected funds, creating a sudden vacancy in the Democratic field.
- Financial filings from Wednesday, July 15 revealed Rodriguez's campaign held $34,991 in cash but faced $152,276 in outstanding debts after she fired her campaign manager for "serious mismanagement."
- Crowley's re-entry reshapes the Democratic primary less than a month before the August 11 election, restoring the field to five candidates: Francesca Hong, Mandela Barnes, Kelda Roys, and Joel Brennan.
- The Democratic primary winner will face Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany in the November 3 general election, a race both parties view as competitive for reclaiming the governor's office.
