Crowley bets anti-MAGA message to rebuild Wisconsin coalition

Democrat David Crowley frames the Wisconsin governor’s race as an existential clash with “MAGA extremism” to heal a fractured party, courting Francesca Hong’s supporters, independents and some former GOP voters. He says he won’t campaign with Hong surrogates like Hasan Piker and won’t back Hong’s moratorium on data-center development, instead proposing guardrails. With Tom Tiffany and Donald Trump as foils, Crowley aims to broaden the coalition and pursue a governing trifecta by centering issues like the cost of living and environmental protections while appealing to rural communities.
