MILWAUKEE — Today, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley released the following statement regarding Governor Tony Evers’ announcement that he would not seek a third term:
“Governor Tony Evers has been a steady, principled leader during some of the most turbulent times in Wisconsin’s history. He protected our democracy when it was under siege. He defended public education when it was on the chopping block. And he governed with integrity, decency, and a deep belief in doing what’s right—not what’s politically easy.
“I’ve been proud to work alongside Governor Evers, and I’ve seen firsthand how his leadership has made a real difference in people’s lives across Wisconsin. From expanding access to affordable healthcare to standing up for reproductive rights to investing in our communities, his impact will be felt for generations.
“As he steps away from the Governor’s race, I want to thank him for his service, his friendship, and his unwavering commitment to the people of Wisconsin.
“I care deeply about the direction Wisconsin takes from here. It is more important than ever that Wisconsin continues to have strong leadership. In the weeks ahead, I will be taking steps toward entering the race for Governor. The stakes are simply too high to sit on the sidelines.
“Governor Evers has laid a strong foundation. I believe it’s our responsibility to build on that progress—and I look forward to engaging in that conversation with the people of Wisconsin.”
