As quickly as Governor Tony Evers announced that he would not seek a third term leading the state, you found two Democrats looking to replace him. Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and Lt. Governor Sara Rodriguez both announced their intentions to run for the state’s highest office. Rodriguez is a step ahead of Crowley, officially launching her campaign an hour after Crowley said he would begin the process. Crowley served two terms in the Wisconsin State Assembly before becoming the Milwaukee County Executive in 2020. Rodriguez has been Evers’ lieutenant governor since 2022 after also previously serving in the Assembly. Late last month, Whitefish Bay businessman Bill Berrien joined Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann in the race for the Republican nomination. U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, former U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde, former Gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels, and former Governor Scott Walker are also rumored to be thinking about throwing their hats into the ring.
