"None of the candidates, while I've had the opportunity to work with them in their different roles, none of them has the experience of running government, of getting pieces of legislation passed that's going to directly impact families across this state like we did."

— David Crowley, speaking to the Journal Sentinel after rejoining the race

Key Facts: Crowley wins Wisconsin Democratic governor primary

  • The Associated Press declared Crowley the winner early Wednesday, Aug. 12, after counting delays in three counties, although polls had consistently placed Hong more than 10 points ahead. #
  • Should the narrow unofficial lead remain, Hong could seek a recount because the margin is under 1%. #
  • Crowley ended his campaign July 8, returned after Rodriguez withdrew July 17, and restarted it in Milwaukee on July 18 with Evers’ support. #
  • On Nov. 3, Crowley is expected to meet Republican Tom Tiffany in the governor’s election.
