Wisconsin gubernatorial primary David Crowley Francesca Hong Democratic primary Tom Tiffany

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley has won the Wisconsin Democratic primary for governor, securing the nomination in a narrow upset against democratic socialist Francesca Hong. Crowley received approximately 39.8% of the vote, while Hong followed closely with approximately 39.4%. The razor-thin margin was influenced by a delay in reporting roughly 28,000 absentee ballots from Milwaukee due to a data uploading error.

Crowley, who received an endorsement from outgoing Democratic Governor Tony Evers, will face Republican Representative Tom Tiffany in the November general election. Tiffany won his Republican primary with approximately 95% of the vote and has the endorsement of Donald Trump.

Hong, who had led most pre-election polls, campaigned on a progressive platform including free childcare, healthcare, and increased taxation on corporations and billionaires. Following the results, Hong endorsed Crowley, calling for party unity to defeat Tiffany in the upcoming general election.
