Wisconsin's Democratic Gubernatorial Race Heats Up | Milwaukee News

Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary is heating up as four top contenders battle for the chance to succeed Governor Tony Evers—making this the first open race in over a decade. David Crowley, the youngest and first Black Milwaukee County Executive, carries Evers’ endorsement; Francesca Hong, a progressive state rep and first Asian American legislator, brings bold policy ideas; Kelda Roys, a Madison senator, offers seasoned governance; and Joel Brennan, a former executive with deep local ties, adds business and administration experience. All are tackling big issues: housing costs, healthcare access, immigration enforcement, data centers, and abortion rights—with every candidate vying to repeal Wisconsin’s 1849 ban and protect reproductive freedom. Though three others suspended campaigns, they remain on the ballot, adding complexity to what’s shaping up as one of the most consequential races in Wisconsin’s recent history.
