Crowley zeroes in on ‘MAGA extremism’ to rebuild a fractured Wisconsin coalition
In one of his first interviews since winning the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, David Crowley shares his plan to bring in Francesca Hong voters — but he won’t commit to campaigning with far left surrogates.
Wisconsin Democrats are working to unify their party after a contentious primary, with Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Crowley focusing on defeating Republican nominee Tom Tiffany by highlighting the dangers of "MAGA extremism." Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive, aims to build a governing trifecta in the state for the first time since 2010, a crucial goal for the party to counteract Trump's agenda.
He plans to reach out to independents and former GOP voters who feel alienated by the current Republican party. Crowley also intends to collaborate with Republicans who seek to unseat Tiffany. However, he has ruled out campaigning with some of Hong's top surrogates due to her controversial views. Crowley has also decided not to pursue a moratorium on data center development, which was a point of contention in the primary, but does support legislation to regulate and protect the environment.
