Crowley Leads in Wisconsin Governor’s Race | Green Bay News

Wisconsin’s governor’s race is heating up as new polls show Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley pulling ahead of Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany—48% to 44%—in a tight, first-ever head-to-head matchup for 2026. Crowley’s comeback after briefly stepping out of the Democratic primary, plus Tiffany’s early Trump backing, set the stage for this fierce contest. With 51% of voters saying Wisconsin is headed in the wrong direction, both candidates are eyeing frustrated voters—and independents could be the tipping point, with Crowley leading 42% to Tiffany’s 30%. A debate at UW-Milwaukee on October 8th may further shape the race, though neither campaign has confirmed attendance yet.
