Milwaukee, Wis. — As Democratic candidates prepare to take the debate stage, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: David Crowley is emerging as the strongest candidate to take on and defeat Tom Tiffany this November.

Crowley’s campaign enters the debate with undeniable momentum. A recent public poll showed Crowley surging into second place in the Democratic primary, demonstrating that voters across Wisconsin are responding to his message of results-driven leadership and pragmatic progressivism.

That momentum has translated into unprecedented grassroots support. Earlier today, the Crowley campaign announced raising more than $775,000 since re-entering the race, more than any other Democratic candidate reported raising during their most recent fundraising period. 

Crowley has also gained the public endorsements of Gov. Tony Evers, Waukesha Mayor Alicia Halvensleben, Wauwatosa Mayor Dennis McBride, Sheboygan Mayor Ryan Sorenson, the Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council, the IBEW Wisconsin State Conference, Operating Engineers Local 139, and organizations and leaders across Wisconsin.

The remarkable outpouring of support reflects growing confidence that Crowley is the candidate best positioned to unite Democrats and compete statewide.

“Momentum matters because it reflects what Wisconsin voters are looking for,” said David Crowley. “They’re looking for a governor who has actually delivered results, managed through crises, balanced budgets, and brought people together to solve problems. That’s the kind of leadership it will take to defeat Tom Tiffany and move Wisconsin forward.”

As Milwaukee County Executive, Crowley has built one of the strongest executive records in Wisconsin politics by expanding affordable housing, investing in public safety and mental health, reducing homelessness, strengthening economic development, and leading Wisconsin’s largest and most diverse county through historic challenges. While others offer promises, Crowley offers proof – and Wisconsin voters are noticing. 

As Democrats consider who is best equipped to take on Tom Tiffany, the choice comes down to more than campaign rhetoric. It comes down to who can build the broad coalition necessary to win in November.

David Crowley’s growing grassroots movement, fundraising strength, and proven record show that the campaign is positioning itself to defeat Tom Tiffany in November.
