  "account": "David Crowley narrowly secured victory in Wisconsin's Democratic gubernatorial primary, edging out Francesca Hong by about 3,000 votes, or 0.4 percent. Hong had been leading in public polls for weeks, but Crowley's margin of victory was less than 1 percentage point, prompting Hong to concede the race. The Associated Press declared Crowley the winner shortly after Hong's concession. Crowley, who had re-entered the race with the endorsement of outgoing Governor Tony Evers, now faces Republican U.S. Representative Tom Tiffany in the November election. Crowley's campaign emphasized making life more affordable, strengthening schools, creating good-paying jobs, and ensuring opportunity reaches every corner of Wisconsin. Evers congratulated Crowley on social media, praising him as the future of the party.",
  "summary": "Democratic socialist Francesca Hong is locked in a tight race against David Crowley in Wisconsin’s primary for governor.",
