In a surprise move, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has thrown his support behind state Treasurer Sarah Godlewski's primary challenger, Alexia Rodriguez Crowley, in the state's Democratic gubernatorial primary. Initially, Evers had remained neutral in the race, but his endorsement of Crowley has injected new life into her campaign. As the state prepares for another closely contested election, Evers' backing is seen as a significant boost for Crowley, who is vying to lead Wisconsin and its notoriously tight election margins. With the governor's endorsement, Crowley's chances of winning the Democratic nomination have likely improved, setting the stage for a potentially contentious general election.
Gov. Tony Evers initially declined to endorse in the race but threw his weight behind Crowley and resuscitated his bid to lead the swing state known for razor-thin election margins.
