David Crowley Wins Messy Democratic Primary for Wisconsin Governor, Defeating Progressive Francesca Hong – Live The Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor has ended with a surprise win for David Crowley, defeating progressive candidate Francesca Hong in a closely contested race.
Crowley's victory can be attributed in part to his last minute endorsement by outgoing Governor Tony Evers, which gave him the momentum he needed to overtake Hong.
Polling had consistently shown Hong as a front runner throughout the campaign, but Crowley managed to close the gap and take the lead.
