It was one of the few DSA losses this this primary season. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wisconsinexaminer.com\/2026\/08\/12\/milwaukee-county-exec-david-crowley-calls-for-democrats-to-unite-as-he-accepts-primary-nomination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wisconsin Examiner<\/a><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democratic gubernatorial nominee David Crowley called on Democrats to unite as he accepted the nomination Wednesday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The race was called in the early morning hours Wednesday&nbsp; as Crowley defeated state Rep. Francesca Hong by a razor-thin margin. Hong&nbsp; called Crowley to concede shortly after 2 a.m. . If elected in November, Crowley would be the first Black person to serve as governor of Wisconsin. Crowley was elected as Milwaukee\u2019s first Black county executive in 2020 after serving two terms in the state Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe job is not done. The job is not finished,\u201d Crowley said. \u201cMy job is not to become the first, and if I do become the first, my job is to make sure that I\u2019m not the last and provide more opportunities for young men and women all across this state.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats have their work cut out for them as they compete against Republican&nbsp; U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, a three-term congressman endorsed by President Donald Trump who currently represents the state\u2019s largest congressional district in the northern half of the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crowley started that work as he accepted the nomination at 9 a.m. Wednesday in Milwaukee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOver the past few months, you\u2019ve heard a lot of people try to define this election as a battle between the left and the center, between progressives and the establishment, between insiders and outsiders, that narrative misses the entire point of what we\u2019re doing,\u201d Crowley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crowley\u2019s comeback in the race was powered by an endorsement from Gov. Tony Evers, the popular, departing two-term governor. Evers and Crowley spent the last two weeks traveling around the state in a last-ditch campaign. Crowley had previously dropped out of the race&nbsp; on July 8 and endorsed Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez. When Rodriguez\u2019s campaign imploded due to a financial scandal on July 17, Evers encouraged Crowley to restart his campaign. He reintroduced himself on July 18.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After getting back into the race, Crowley faced accusations of being the \u201cestablishment\u201d candidate who was chosen to defeat the democratic socialist candidate, Francesca Hong. He called that accusation a \u201cslur.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As he accepted the nomination, Crowley thanked Evers \u201cfor his friendship, his leadership and his belief that Wisconsin works best when working people come together to solve problems.\u201d He also sought to put to bed the narrative that had surrounded the race as he thanked his primary opponents. He said that Hong\u2019s campaign \u201creminded people across Wisconsin that there are no long shots when it comes to believing in a better future and fighting to expand opportunities to every family\u201d and said he&nbsp; looks forward to earning the support of Hong voters. The narrative that the primary was \u200b\u200b\u201da battle between the left and the center, between progressive and the establishment, between insiders and outsiders\u201d was inaccurate, Crowley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I traveled across Wisconsin, I didn\u2019t meet people who introduced themselves that way. I met parents wondering how they afford childcare. I met workers who want wages that keep up with the costs of living. I met farmers trying to preserve family traditions. I met small business owners trying to keep their doors open, and I met seniors who deserve security and dignity after a lifetime of work. We may not agree on every policy, we may not use the same labels, but we all want safe communities, strong schools, affordable health care, good-paying jobs, and a brighter future for all of our children.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crowley said Democrats must&nbsp; now unite around keeping \u201cMAGA extremism\u201d out of Wisconsin and called Tiffany the \u201creal threat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTiffany stood with those who tried to overturn a free and fair presidential election instead of defending our democracy,\u201d Crowley said. \u201cHe\u2019s worked in lockstep with Donald Trump to slash programs that Wisconsin families depend on, including SNAP and healthcare for our children, our seniors and veterans and working families. He backed harmful, costly policies like the war in Iran, while too many families right here, right at home, are struggling to make ends meet. He spends his time fueling culture wars because sowing division is much easier than delivering results.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWisconsin, we deserve better than politicians who divide us for their own political gain,\u201d Crowley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tiffany said in a statement about Crowley\u2019s victory that there is \u201cnot a dime\u2019s worth of difference between these Democrat candidates.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDavid Crowley proved my point when he admitted there aren\u2019t many policy differences between him and a socialist,\u201d Tiffany said. \u201cHis record in Milwaukee County shows exactly what Wisconsin would get: mismanage the government, run up the bill and raise your taxes to pay for it. Wisconsin doesn\u2019t need more of the same failed policies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats are meeting for a unity breakfast that will bring together Crowley, Hong, state Sen. Kelda Roys, another of the candidates in the Democratic primary, Lt. Gov. candidate Sarah Godlewski, U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin and U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan around 11 a.m. in Middleton, as they , seek to move past the divisiveness of the primary with less than three months until the general election.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UPCOMING PRIMARIES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Date<\/th><th>State<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>August 18, 2026<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Alaska_elections,_2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alaska<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Florida_elections,_2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Florida<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Wyoming_elections,_2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wyoming<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>September 1, 2026<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Massachusetts_elections,_2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Massachusetts<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>September 8, 2026<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/New_Hampshire_elections,_2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Hampshire<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>September 9, 2026<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Rhode_Island_elections,_2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rhode Island<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><br>September 15, 2026<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Delaware_elections,_2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Delaware<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>November 3, 2026<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Louisiana_elections,_2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Louisiana<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a pretty close but DSA candidate and State Rep.
