MADISON – Wisconsin Conservation Voters today announced its endorsement of Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley for Governor of Wisconsin.

“The momentum across Wisconsin is clear – voters are ready for leaders who will hold corporate polluters accountable, stand up to corporate greed, regulate data centers, and protect our natural resources,” said Seth Hoffmeister, Deputy Director of Wisconsin Conservation Voters. “David Crowley has proven he understands the struggles of Wisconsin families. From cutting Milwaukee County’s carbon footprint in half to taking a firm stand against predatory data center growth, David is the leader we need to protect our environment and keep energy bills affordable.”

Crowley has committed to holding Big Tech and electric utilities accountable by banning non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) around data centers, enforcing “Bring Your Own Clean Energy” mandates for these massive facilities, making sure data centers pay their full share in energy and water costs, and holding corporate polluters responsible for environmental damage and mitigation.

Crowley’s opponent, Tom Tiffany, is an extremist pro-corporate polluter politician. His record – both in Madison and in Congress – shows a consistent pattern of prioritizing corporate interests, out-of-state polluters, and special interests over regular Wisconsinites. Tiffany’s record is toxic. He took $75,000 from mining interests in exchange for introducing an open-pit mining bill. He voted to defund the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program – a popular and effective bipartisan conservation program. He gutted the DNR’s scientific authority, and he voted for budget legislation that raised healthcare and electricity costs. Tom Tiffany has put corporate profit ahead of local communities time and again.

“Wisconsinites are looking for practical solutions to real challenges, like rising utility rates and unsafe drinking water,” Hoffmeister said. “David Crowley will put our communities first and advocate for policies that make our state cleaner, safer, and more affordable.”
