MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WRN) — A chaotic week in the Democratic primary for governor sees Milwaukee County executive David Crowley back in the race following the departure of Lt Governor Sara Rodriguez.
A chaotic week in the Democratic primary for governor sees Milwaukee County executive David Crowley back in the race following the departure of Lt. Governor Sara Rodriguez.
Democratic strategist Joe Zepecki tells WISN’s UPFRONT some voters might see that as a lack of faith from the state Democratic Party in either former Lt Governor Mandela Barnes or Representative Francesca Hong.
“And I think those are two candidates who are unabashed outsiders and are clearly not part of the establishment. And so the risk is you see a repeat of 2016 where the fight between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders divided the Democratic Party,” Zepecki said.
Reports from inside the party indicate some people are pushing Governor Tony Evers to endorse Crowley. Voters will choose between 5 Democrats in the August 11 primary.
