Wisconsin AFL-CIO President Stephanie Bloomingdale released the following statement:

“Congratulations to David Crowley on his victory in the Democratic primary for Wisconsin Governor. Wisconsin needs leaders who will stand up for working families, support unions and deliver real solutions that improve the lives of the people of our state. David Crowley will provide that leadership.

Republican Tom Tiffany voted to support Scott Walker’s union-busting bills again and again. David Crowley understands the important role strong unions and collective bargaining play in building and sustaining a healthy economy that provides all working Wisconsinites with an opportunity to succeed. The Wisconsin AFL-CIO is proud to endorse David Crowley for Governor.”
