Wisconsin Governor’s Race Heats Up | Madison News
Description
Wisconsin voters head to the polls today in a historic primary that could reshape the governor’s race—no incumbent running, no clear favorite. On the Democratic side, State Rep. Francesca Hong surges ahead with her bold platform on free healthcare, childcare, and halting new AI data centers. Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, backed by current Governor Tony Evers, focuses on affordability and is polling lower but riding a powerful endorsement. Senator Kelda Roys and former budget chief Joel Brennan trail in the single digits, pushing for higher wages and better schools. On the Republican side, Congressman Tom Tiffany dominates with Trump’s backing, already eyeing November’s general election, while Andrew Manske runs a grassroots revolt against the establishment, spotlighting inflation and cost of living. This is the first wide-open governor’s race in 16 years—and the stage is set for a fierce battle.
