MADISON, Wis. (WRN) – The field of Democrats running for Wisconsin governor is now down to five.
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley ends his campaign. In a statement released Wednesday Crowley said it had become clear he would not be the Democratic nominee and that he is focusing instead on his position as county executive.
Crowley’s departure leaves State Representative Francesca Hong of Madison, State Senator Kelda Roys of Madison, former Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes, current Lieutenant Governor Sarah Rodriguez, and former Wisconsin Administration Secretary Joel Brennan in the Democratic race.
Assuming more than one Democrat stays in the race, the winner of the August primary will likely face President Trump endorsed Congressman Tom Tiffany in November.
