Crowley Surges With Evers' Endorsement | San Francisco News

Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial race just took a seismic shift as Governor Tony Evers unexpectedly endorses Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, setting the stage for a historic showdown. Crowley, 40, and the first Black governor Wisconsin could ever elect, is now the frontrunner after Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez’s exit due to financial woes and leadership turmoil. Once sidelined by supporting Rodriguez, Crowley’s return to the race pits him against Francesca Hong and Kelda Roys. Evers’ endorsement — a rare move for him — signals a major political realignment, as he sidelines his own lieutenant governors. If Crowley wins, he’ll face Republican Tom Tiffany in November, with Democrats eyeing a rare chance to reclaim the governor’s mansion and the state legislature after a decade of GOP control.
