With tomorrow being Wisconsin’s Partisan Primary Election, one gubernatorial candidate made the trip to Sheboygan last week with Wisconsin’s governor.
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley made several stops with Tony Evers, starting at Blast Ice Cream to get some soft serve and talk with employees and the owner.
Crowley and Evers would then stop at WordHaven BookHouse on North 8th Street to take a quick tour before talking to some supporters at the Sheboygan County Democratic Party Office.
Evers called the race very important and explained why he endorsed Crowley.
“He’s done stuff that in a way that has made lives better for the people in Milwaukee County, and that’s exactly what we need for the State of Wisconsin,” the Governor noted.
Evers says if Republican candidate Tom Tiffany is elected, he would be a “really, really difficult person to have as governor, and is as MAGA, straight on.”
Seehafernews.com asked Crowley about some of the issues he’d want to tackle if elected governor.
He says for him it would include tackling property taxes.
“To do that, we’re going to need to fund public schools,” he explained. “Increase that funding that would naturally east the property tax pressure so our kids would get exactly what they need, and we save a little bit more money in peoples pockets. We have to make sure that we are keeping the workers at the center of what we do, right?”
Crowley says that would include trying to raise Wisconsin’s minimum wage and allowing unions to bargain collectively for wages, benefits, and safety.
“Repealing Act 10 is extremely important, but it’s also about expanding BadgerCare,” he stated. “Making sure we can double eligibility to make sure that people have to make sure that people have access to the providers that they need in order to become healthy.”
Milwaukee County’s executive was also asked about the late July Marquette Law School poll that showed undecided voters made up about 34% of people asked questions about the governor’s race.
Crowley says he wants to bring more people to the table.
“We want to make sure that everybody can see themselves living here in the State of Wisconsin,” he replied. “And that means not just fighting back against what we are seeing at the federal level but focusing on a vision that is going to bring more people together.”
Crowley and Gov. Evers would then finish their day at Urbane Sheboygan.
Crowley had previously dropped out of the race for governor before relaunching his campaign following the collapse of the campaign for Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez.
He faces an uphill battle as Francesca Hong was still leading the Democratic pack in the previously mentioned Marquette Law School poll.
Wisconsin’s partisan primary is tomorrow, with polls opening at 7:00 a.m. and closing at 8:00 p.m.
