MILWAUKEE— Ahead of tomorrow’s gubernatorial debate for the Democratic primary, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin Black Caucus is announcing their candidate certifications for the race with all candidates supporting the caucus policy agenda. This platform was adopted by the membership of the caucus at the recent Democratic Party of Wisconsin State Convention following its introduction by the Legislative Black Caucus last February after their 2025 statewide tour.

“We cannot earn a Democratic Trifecta without the support of Black Wisconsinites, and it means nothing if we don’t deliver the results that meaningfully help change people’s lives.” Chair Nick Truog said in a statement. “This voter guide allows everyone voting in this primary to see each Democratic candidate for governor’s commitment to support our policy agenda and how they will utilize their full constitutional authority to fulfill it.”

The platform addresses seven key areas concerning the Black community: affording housing and protecting renters, education and literacy, economic opportunity, healthcare and mental health, criminal justice reform, democracy and civic engagement, and environmental and infrastructure needs. Chair Truog went on to emphasize that these policy priorities reflect the issues Wisconsinites across the state are facing. “While Tom Tiffany and Republicans prioritize dividing us based on our backgrounds, the Black Caucus is committed to uniting us. Yes, these issues disproportionately affect our community more, but when we collectively work to eliminate these disparities, it benefits everyone. This is the type of leadership Wisconsin needs in the Governor’s office.”
