- He will be the state’s first Black governor.
- The campaign centred on Trump, taxes and public programmes.

## Summary

Democrat David Crowley is projected to have defeated Republican Tom Tiffany in Wisconsin’s gubernatorial election. Crowley will succeed retiring Democratic governor Tony Evers and become the state’s first Black governor, a historic milestone in a closely contested battleground state.

During the campaign, Crowley criticised Tiffany’s support for President Donald Trump and the 2025 tax and spending law, arguing it could hurt healthcare and food assistance. Tiffany said he was focused on Wisconsin and putting more money in taxpayers’ pockets, while portraying Crowley as aligned with socialist policies. Crowley had narrowly won the Democratic primary in August, and Tiffany is a three-term congressman from northern Wisconsin.
