Since taking office, Milwaukee County has invested over $45 million in housing, backed seven County-supported affordable housing developments, and is laying groundwork for more. He spearheaded a $6 million initiative in King Park to build 120 rent-to-own homes — equipping residents with financial counseling and a clear path to homeownership after 15 years. And he’s invested over $60 million to prevent evictions, including launching Eviction Free MKE to provide free legal help for low-income families. Under his leadership, Milwaukee County has led the nation in preventing homelessness — recording the lowest per-capita rate of unsheltered homelessness in the country and saving taxpayers over $30 million through a Housing First model that’s defying national trends.</span></p>

<h2>Leadership That Delivers, <br>Not Just Promises</h2><p>David believes we must start building again — smarter, faster, and closer to the people. Whether it’s housing, health, climate, or public safety, the public isn’t asking for a politician that “cares” more. <strong>They’re asking for a leader that delivers better.</strong> Abstract ideology doesn’t move the needle; tangible change does.</p><p>Now, David Crowley is ready to bring this same proven leadership to every corner of Wisconsin — <strong>as the fighter this moment demands.</strong> He’s not running to wait out legislative obstruction. He’s running to confront it, beat it, and deliver for the people who’ve been ignored for too long.</p><p>David has governed where it’s hardest: in communities squeezed by broken budgets, strained services, and underinvestment from the halls of power.<strong> His record is a blueprint for how Democrats must lead:</strong> with an urgent focus on real outcomes that rebuild public trust and make<em> all</em> of our lives better.</p><p><br></p>

The law increased shared revenue for municipalities and counties across Wisconsin, empowering them to invest in essential services like public safety, EMS, and road repair. For Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee, Act 12 was a financial lifeline. It authorized a local revenue option to stabilize services and fixed a decades-old pension crisis. On top of these reforms, Crowley delivered the largest property tax cut in county history.</span></p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text)">In a time of divided government, David keeps delivering results. Most recently, David secured a bipartisan funding boost in the state budget that directly supports Milwaukee County—despite a Republican-controlled legislature. No small feat, this deal locks in millions for essential local services—public safety, transportation, and housing programs—and cements the gains of Act 12 with long-term state backing. It’s another reminder: while others talk, David delivers.</span></p>

He’ll take his Building Bridges Program statewide—revitalizing storefronts, activating commercial corridors, and creating jobs block by block. Every infrastructure dollar will support good-paying, local jobs and lift the trades with strong labor standards.</span></p><h4><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Expanding the Middle Class</span></h4><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">As Governor, Crowley will modernize and expand apprenticeship programs—connecting young people and career-changers to opportunities in the trades, health care, green energy, and beyond. These aren’t just training programs; they’re pipelines to economic stability and lifelong opportunity.</span></p><h4><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Entrepreneurship That Works Everywhere</span></h4><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Crowley will make Wisconsin the best place in the Midwest to start and grow a small business — whether you're opening a bakery in Beloit, running a barbershop in Wausau, or launching a biotech startup in Eau Claire. He’ll streamline permitting across state agencies, cut red tape for local entrepreneurs, and expand access to affordable capital so more Wisconsinites can turn ideas into income. Crowley will double down on technical assistance and back community-based lenders who know how to reach the business owners big banks ignore. And he’ll use state incentives to prioritize storefront growth in commercial corridors, not just corporate subsidies. Because building an economy that works everywhere means making sure small businesses can thrive anywhere.</span></p><h4><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Public Investments That Deliver</span></h4><span class="image image-framed image-left image-tilt-left" style="width: 40%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/045a6f9f-9790-4841-85c6-f4ea63efb90b/adf3826f-df5e-4f14-8df6-a88c39af0416/adf3826f-df5e-4f14-8df6-a88c39af0416.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C8058%2C5372&amp;w=1500" alt="A photo of David talking to two people in a restaurant kitchen" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Government should help create jobs—not just be a check cutter. Under Crowley’s leadership, public dollars will multiply opportunity. Investments in housing, health care, and climate resilience pay dividends across Wisconsin, with accountability and outcomes that families can feel. That means homes people can afford, care that’s easy to access, and family supporting jobs.</span></p><p></p><h4><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Health Care That Reaches People</span></h4><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Crowley will expand mobile outreach, addiction treatment access, and EMS innovations across the state—because everyone deserves care that shows up when and where it’s needed.

Crowley will invest in solar, energy retrofits, and clean infrastructure that creates thousands of union jobs across Wisconsin. He’s already cut emissions nearly 50% in Milwaukee County—now he’s ready to take that impact statewide.</span></p><h4><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Connected Communities</strong></span></h4><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Crowley will finally close Wisconsin’s broadband gap, repair roads, and expand transit where it’s needed — so that every community can connect to jobs, school, health care, and each other. That means investing in regional transit that links rural towns to economic centers, restoring service cuts that have left communities stranded, and building a modern transportation system that works for seniors, workers, and families alike. As County Executive, Crowley has already expanded bus routes, championed new transit corridors, and fought for federal infrastructure dollars to keep Wisconsin moving. As Governor, he’ll take that fight statewide — because no one should lose out on opportunity because of where they live or how they get around.</span></p><h4><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Empowered Local Leadership</strong></span></h4><span class="image image-framed image-left image-tilt-left" style="width: 40%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/045a6f9f-9790-4841-85c6-f4ea63efb90b/49874b34-12db-4540-9760-7c5a9fd78418/49874b34-12db-4540-9760-7c5a9fd78418.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C8047%2C5365&amp;w=1500" alt="A photo of David talking to someone in a hallway" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Through smart revenue reform, Crowley will ensure local governments have the tools and funding to serve their residents — while lowering property taxes and re-empowering local decision-making. That means giving communities the resources to invest in what matters most: well-trained police and fire departments, reliable public works, responsive local services, and the ability to shape their own future without interference from Madison. As County Executive, Crowley successfully secured new state revenue tools for local governments, fought to restore local control, and delivered balanced budgets that protect public safety and expand services. As Governor, he’ll finish the job — because no one knows what a community needs better than the people who live and lead there.</span></p><h4><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">A Democracy That Includes Everyone</span></h4><span class="image image-framed image-right image-tilt-left" style="width: 40%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/045a6f9f-9790-4841-85c6-f4ea63efb90b/5ece064a-5e6e-4ef2-955d-38302f79cdcf/5ece064a-5e6e-4ef2-955d-38302f79cdcf.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C8256%2C5504&amp;w=1500" alt="A photo of David smiling with two others in a grocery store" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Crowley will protect voting rights, push for nonpartisan redistricting at every level, and strengthen the systems that ensure every voice is heard—because democracy only works when it works for all of us.</span></p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">These are not slogans. <strong>They’re a blueprint. </strong>David’s campaign is about delivering real, measurable improvements in people’s lives—jobs, homes, care, education, and trust in the institutions that serve us.</span></p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong>Because the people closest to the pain should be closest to the power. </strong>And under David Crowley’s leadership, they will be.</span></p><h4><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Accessible Childcare for Wisconsin Families</span></h4><p>Crowley believes every family deserves access to safe, affordable, high-quality child care.

Crowley will prioritize raising subsidy rates so families can afford care, supporting providers so they can keep their doors open, and growing pre-K readiness programs that give every child a strong start. By making child care more accessible and dependable, Crowley will strengthen Wisconsin’s workforce, support parents, and give every child the foundation to thrive.</p><h4><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Services for People with Disabilities.</span></h4><p>Crowley supports policies and programs that ensure children and adults with disabilities — and older adults — can access the services and supports they need to live full, independent lives.

<h6 style="text-align: center;"><em>A message from David Crowley</em></h6><p>From day one, I’ve said the stakes in this election are too high for anyone to sit on the sidelines. When I suspended my campaign, I made clear that Wisconsin needed a leader who would show up for working families, bring people together, and deliver results.</p><p>That hasn’t changed.</p><p><strong>What also hasn’t changed is the threat Tom Tiffany poses to Wisconsin’s future.</strong> We know exactly what kind of governor he would be: He would put Donald Trump ahead of the people of Wisconsin, side with the special interests of wealthy corporate donors funding his campaign, undermine reproductive freedom, attack organized labor, and roll back the progress we've made protecting our land, water, and air.</p><p>Wisconsin cannot afford four years of Tom Tiffany.</p><p><strong>Let me be direct about something else happening in this race.</strong></p><p>The Republican Governors Association is bankrolling millions right now, not to attack a Democrat, but to boost one, because they've decided which Democratic nominee they can beat in November.</p><p>That is a five-alarm warning sign.</p><p>We cannot let the GOP choose the Democratic nominee for governor of Wisconsin. Period. Democrats have to make that decision, based on who can actually win in every corner of this state and govern from day one.</p><p>That is exactly the choice in front of us right now. Democrats cannot afford to head into the general election with a nominee who lacks the experience, the record, or the coalition necessary to win, especially with Republicans actively trying to hand us that outcome. This election is too important to gamble on.</p><p><strong>That's why today I am reentering this race.</strong></p><h5>My story is Wisconsin’s story.</h5><p>Like so many people across our state, I grew up learning the value of hard work. I watched my family fight every day just to get by. And I learned at a young age that grit, resilience, and hope for a better tomorrow can carry us through even the toughest challenges.</p><p>As Milwaukee County Executive, I run one of Wisconsin's largest governments, and I face the same challenges communities across Wisconsin face every day. <strong>I don't just talk about solving problems — I deliver results:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Expanded affordable housing</p></li><li><p>Strengthened public health</p></li><li><p>Invested in public safety</p></li><li><p>Delivered tax relief</p></li><li><p>Modernized county government</p></li><li><p>Helped pass <strong>Act 12</strong>, a historic bipartisan deal that secured Milwaukee's fiscal future and sent revenue to municipalities across the entire state</p></li></ul><p>Those aren't unfulfilled campaign promises or catchy slogans. They're <strong>provable results.</strong></p><h5>Why executive experience matters.</h5><p>On day one, Wisconsin's next governor will face real challenges that require someone who knows how to manage government, work across political differences, build consensus, and get things done.</p><p>I know how to do that. <strong>I've already done it.</strong></p><h5>Building the broadest possible coalition.</h5><p>We need a nominee who can energize Democrats in Milwaukee and Madison, while also competing in suburban and rural communities across the state. I have deep roots and strong support in Milwaukee County, where Democratic turnout is crucial, and I have spent years building relationships across Wisconsin that allow us to be competitive statewide.</p><p>The path to victory is maximizing Democratic turnout while remaining competitive in every region of this state. We don't have to win every county, but we cannot allow Tom Tiffany to dominate outside our population centers.</p><p>Governor Tony Evers understands what's required to run, win, and govern in Wisconsin because he's done it.</p><p>The Governor’s endorsement reflects his confidence that I have the experience, the judgment, and the record to build the coalition we need, defeat Tom Tiffany, and lead effectively from the very first day in office.</p><h5>This is about November.</h5><p>This race isn't just about who can win a primary.</p><p>It’s about winning in November.</p><p>It’s about bringing Wisconsin together.</p><p>And it’s about delivering results for working families for years to come.</p><p>My record proves I can do it, and I’m ready for that fight.</p><p>Wisconsin deserves a strong Democratic candidate, and that’s exactly why I am reentering this race.</p><p>Now, let’s get to work <strong>moving Wisconsin forward.</strong></p><p></p><span class="image image-base image-left image-tilt-right" style="width: 40%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/045a6f9f-9790-4841-85c6-f4ea63efb90b/2ac7ddb2-28eb-4f9b-8042-7ead0228a5b3/2ac7ddb2-28eb-4f9b-8042-7ead0228a5b3.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C184%2C1920%2C642&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="right" variant="base"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><p></p>

ADUs are especially practical, adding units on already-developed land without new infrastructure costs.</p></li><li><p>Convert unused commercial and industrial space — empty offices, dead strip malls, underused warehouses — into apartments and mixed-use housing. State adaptive reuse tax credits, streamlined permitting, relaxed parking minimums, and "conversion-ready" zoning overlays can reduce cost and uncertainty for developers. Environmental remediation support would be key for older industrial sites in cities.</p></li><li><p>Provide planning and predevelopment support to move projects from idea to construction faster. WHEDA could expand predevelopment loan programs to cover early architectural, engineering, and legal costs before financing is secured. One-stop permitting offices and pre-approved standard building designs would cut years off the typical 3–7 year timeline from concept to groundbreaking.</p></li><li><p>Expand apprenticeship and workforce pipelines so Wisconsin has the workers to build at the scale we need. Partnerships between unions, employers, and technical colleges can grow registered apprenticeship programs in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Pre-apprenticeship pathways for career changers, returning citizens, and recent graduates will grow the workforce where it's most constrained.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Expand affordable homeownership and protect starter homes</strong></p><ul><li><p>Increase funding for the Housing Cost Reduction Initiative for down payment assistance and wealth-building through homeownership.</p></li><li><p>Make Housing Cost Reduction Initiative dollars more flexible so funding can shift to where demand is highest — getting help to families faster instead of sitting unused.</p></li><li><p>Give municipalities the option to set guardrails on bulk investor purchases of single- and two-family homes — because starter homes should go to first-time buyers, not corporate investors buying up neighborhoods.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Keep people housed and prevent homelessness</strong></p><ul><li><p>Strengthen eviction prevention and pair it with eviction diversion so a temporary setback doesn't become a life-altering loss.</p></li><li><p>Expand rapid rehousing and bring Housing First to every corner of Wisconsin — funded through a combination of existing federal Medicaid matching dollars, state investment, and the proven cost savings the model generates. Milwaukee County saved taxpayers $30 million doing it. Wisconsin can too.</p></li><li><p>Improve housing voucher programs with landlord incentives, faster processing, and fewer barriers for tenants.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Lower housing-related costs</strong></p><ul><li><p>Expand weatherization and home repair programs to cut monthly bills and keep older housing stock livable.</p></li><li><p>Strengthen consumer protections so families aren't destabilized by unfair utility practices or shutoffs during extreme weather.</p></li><li><p>Expand property tax relief by strengthening homestead credit eligibility — especially for seniors and working families.</p></li></ul>

<h2><strong>GOOD JOBS &amp; ECONOMIC JUSTICE FOR WORKERS &amp; SMALL BUSINESS | A Wisconsin That Works for Everyone</strong></h2><p><strong>Raise the minimum wage — at least $15</strong></p><ul><li><p>Raise Wisconsin's minimum wage immediately to $15 an hour and raise it to $20 an hour by 2030.</p></li><li><p>Establish clear protections so large employers can't restructure, reclassify, or reduce hours to avoid the wage floor. Workers come first.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Repeal Act 10 and restore workers’ rights</strong></p><ul><li><p>Repeal Act 10 and restore full collective bargaining rights for public sector workers — because Scott Walker's attack on Wisconsin's labor movement was wrong then and its damage is still being felt today.</p></li><li><p>Stand firmly with unions — public and private — because when workers have power at the table, everyone does better.</p></li><li><p>Protect workers' right to organize, bargain, and strike without fear of retaliation.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Building Bridges statewide</strong></p><ul><li><p>Scale and expand the small business support program Building Bridges statewide — taking what worked in Milwaukee County and bringing it to every community in Wisconsin, from urban corridors to rural main streets.</p></li><li><p>Partner with UW Campuses, UW Extensions, and Wisconsin Technical Colleges to connect new graduates with local small businesses — giving students real-world experience and giving businesses access to talent and technical assistance they couldn't otherwise afford.</p></li><li><p>Provide grants and hands-on support to small businesses.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Remove barriers for entry, restore futures</strong></p><ul><li><p>Expand state pardons so people can move forward after they have paid their debt to society, so they can find jobs, find housing, and stay out of the cycle of poverty and reincarceration that holds individuals and communities back.</p></li><li><p>Strengthen reentry pathways by partnering with employers and schools on education and training in prison that give returning citizens a real shot — not just a pamphlet.</p></li><li><p>Expand reskilling programs for adults returning to the workforce, so losing a job or losing time doesn't mean losing your future.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Remove barriers for entry, restore futures</strong></p><ul><li><p>Make Wisconsin a leader in passenger rail by investing in and expanding service connecting Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay — and building toward a statewide network that keeps Wisconsin competitive.</p></li><li><p>Support federal and regional partnerships to bring high-speed and commuter rail to Wisconsin's major corridors — finishing what Scott Walker walked away from and stuck Wisconsin with a huge bill.</p></li><li><p>Treat rail as economic infrastructure — connecting businesses to markets, workers to jobs, students to campuses, and communities to opportunity across every region of the state.</p></li><li><p>Establish regional transit authorities so communities across Wisconsin have the tools and funding structures to build and sustain public transportation systems that actually work for them.</p><p></p></li></ul>

<h4><strong>Modernizing Public Health and Securing Resources Statewide</strong></h4><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text)">Crowley’s administration brought in more than $100 million in state and federal aid to expand health care access, invest in safer housing, and modernize transit. During the pandemic, his administration implemented a nationally recognized COVID-19 dashboard–the first in the nation to track COVID-19 data by race and ethnicity. Crowley also led a new innovative emergency medical services initiative offering whole blood transfusions in the field for injured patients, making Milwaukee County’s Emergency Medical Services the first in Wisconsin to offer this care.</span></p>

<h4><strong>Supporting Small Businesses and Revitalizing Local Economies</strong></h4><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">David launched the Building Bridges Small Business Program, a first-of-its-kind effort to grow storefront businesses, activate commercial corridors, and create local jobs across Milwaukee County. The program provides grants to small, brick-and-mortar businesses in partnership with municipal governments — with investments targeted in every one of the County’s 19 municipalities.

Timeline

<p><strong>David understands these challenges not just as policy issues, but as lived experiences.</strong> As a husband and father, he sees how these pressures play out at home. He and his wife, Ericka, are raising three daughters in Milwaukee, which keeps him focused on what policy really means at the kitchen table, not just in Madison.</p>

While some Democrats build resumes in courtrooms or conference rooms, David has governed where it’s hardest: in communities squeezed by broken budgets, strained services, and underinvestment from the halls of power. His record is a blueprint for how Democrats must lead: with an urgent focus on real outcomes that rebuild public trust and make all of our lives better.

Issues Post

Meet David

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

<p><strong>CARE: </strong>Enshrine reproductive freedom in Wisconsin law, including abortion access.</p><p>Protect evidence-based health care and adoption rights for LGBTQ+ families, and enshrine marriage equality in state law.</p><p>Strengthen domestic violence prevention and crisis support across rural and urban Wisconsin.</p>

<h2>Rights and protections</h2>

<p><strong>AFFORDABILITY: </strong>Support zoning flexibility so duplexes, fourplexes, ADUs, and small multi-unit buildings can be built where people already live and work. Wisconsin can allow these housing types "by right" — without special permits or neighborhood hearings — through incentive grants that reward cities for updating their codes — and, where necessary, state legislation that ensures no community is left behind by outdated zoning rules. ADUs are especially practical, adding units on already-developed land without new infrastructure costs.</p><p>Convert unused commercial and industrial space — empty offices, dead strip malls, underused warehouses — into apartments and mixed-use housing. State adaptive reuse tax credits, streamlined permitting, relaxed parking minimums, and "conversion-ready" zoning overlays can reduce cost and uncertainty for developers. Environmental remediation support would be key for older industrial sites in cities.</p><p>Provide planning and predevelopment support to move projects from idea to construction faster. WHEDA could expand predevelopment loan programs to cover early architectural, engineering, and legal costs before financing is secured. One-stop permitting offices and pre-approved standard building designs would cut years off the typical 3–7 year timeline from concept to groundbreaking.</p><p>Expand apprenticeship and workforce pipelines so Wisconsin has the workers to build at the scale we need. Partnerships between unions, employers, and technical colleges can grow registered apprenticeship programs in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Pre-apprenticeship pathways for career changers, returning citizens, and recent graduates will grow the workforce where it's most constrained.</p>

<h2>Build more housing statewide</h2>

<p><strong>OPPORTUNITY: </strong>Scale and expand the small business support program Building Bridges statewide — taking what worked in Milwaukee County and bringing it to every community in Wisconsin, from urban corridors to rural main streets.</p><p>Partner with UW Campuses, UW Extensions, and Wisconsin Technical Colleges to connect new graduates with local small businesses — giving students real-world experience and giving businesses access to talent and technical assistance they couldn't otherwise afford.</p><p>Provide grants and hands-on support to small businesses — prioritizing those in distressed communities and&nbsp; rural areas — so they can grow, hire, and compete.</p>

<h2>Building Bridges statewide</h2>

<p><strong>CARE: </strong>Implement a statewide No Wrong Door health system so the first call for help connects someone to the right support — mental health, substance use treatment, or medical care — without referrals or runaround.</p><p>Put mental health navigators in all 72 counties to help families find treatment and stay connected to care.</p><p>Build behavioral health urgent care clinics and crisis centers across Wisconsin so people have a safe place to go before a crisis becomes a tragedy.</p>
