Summary
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley said defeating Rep. Tom Tiffany and checking President Donald Trump’s agenda are the unifying goals of his Wisconsin governor’s bid.
Crowley is pitching a broad coalition around MAGA extremism and the affordability crisis, arguing Democrats can pull in independents and disaffected Republicans as Trump’s approval slips and the Iran war stays unpopular.
Wisconsin Democrats see the governor’s race as pivotal because Trump carried the battleground state by just under 30,000 votes in 2024, and holding the office would preserve a key barrier to his agenda.
Crowley, backed by Gov. Tony Evers, said he has already spoken with some Republicans interested in stopping Tiffany while keeping distance from parts of the party’s left flank, including ruling out campaigning with Hasan Piker.
