Wisconsin's Governor Race Heats Up | Green Bay News

Wisconsin’s primary election tonight is a high-stakes political showdown between progressive and establishment Democrats vying to replace Governor Tony Evers, with four candidates still in the race—Francesca Hong, David Crowley, Joel Brennan, and Kelda Roys—after notable dropouts including Sara Rodriguez and Mandela Barnes. The outcome could reshape state politics, especially as Wisconsin’s historic eight-year governor flip cycle and midterm voter trends create uncertainty. Meanwhile, Republicans hold six of eight House seats, but Democrats are targeting key districts like the third, where incumbent Derrick Van Orden faces off against experienced candidate Rebecca Cooke. With polls closing at 8 PM CT and absentee ballots adding complexity, this election will determine Wisconsin’s political direction for years to come.
