Wisconsin Dems Battle for Governor | Madison News

Early voting kicks off in Wisconsin’s Democratic governor’s race as chaos brews behind the scenes. Three top contenders—Mandela Barnes, David Crowley, and Francesca Hong—are locked in a heated battle for the nomination, each vying to become the state’s first Black governor. Tonight’s lone debate could be pivotal, with Barnes and Crowley eyeing Milwaukee’s support and Hong counting on Madison’s progressive base. Voters are split: some want fresh leadership and resent the governor’s late endorsement, while others prioritize electability in rural areas. Complicating matters, a judge weighs a lawsuit that could let voters cast new ballots after already mailed ones—triggered by last-minute candidate exits and re-entries. With the August 11 primary looming, Democrats face a steep climb to unify and win. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
