ILWAUKEE – The Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council today endorsed Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley for Governor of Wisconsin. The District Council, an affiliation of five Laborers local unions, represents 10,000 active and retired members across Wisconsin.

“David Crowley doesn’t just talk about supporting working people, he delivers. As County Executive he has put union members to work on projects across Milwaukee County, championed apprenticeship pathways, and stood with labor on every fight that matters,” said Kent Miller, President & Business Manager of the Wisconsin Laborers.  “Voters are looking for a Governor who has delivered real results, not just talked about them. The Laborers are proud to stand with David Crowley because we know he can win this race, and he will be a governor who working people can count on.”

The Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council endorsement adds to the growing momentum behind Crowley’s campaign, coming on the heels of Governor Tony Evers’ endorsement on Saturday.

“I grew up in a union household. My father was a master electrician, and I saw firsthand how a union job means a family-supporting wage and a safe workplace,” said Crowley. “The Laborers build Wisconsin, and as Governor I will make sure the people who build this state can earn a good living doing it. That means restoring prevailing wage, bringing back project labor agreements, repealing so-called right to work, and expanding apprenticeships. I’m honored to have the support of the Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council, and together we are going to build a Wisconsin that works for all of us.”

The Democratic Primary for Governor will be held on August 11, 2026. More information about David Crowley and his campaign can be found at CrowleyforWI.com.
