David Crowley saw tough times growing up. Then, when he was elected to a position of responsibility, he delivered so that fewer people would go through what he did. That's one reason I trust David to lead Wisconsin.

AI is driving up costs for everyday Wisconsinites, from online scams to insurance companies using AI to deny healthcare claims. Yet as families pay more and opposition to Big Tech grows, Congressman Tom Tiffany voted to ban Wisconsin from regulating AI for ten years.

💰 Follow the money: 3 MAGA billionaires are funding Congressman Tom Tiffany's campaign for governor after he spent his career putting his wealthy donors' interests ahead of what’s best for Wisconsin. Tell him we can't afford his billionaire-backed agenda: 202-225-3365.

Follow the money! It looks like Trump wants to keep Bryan Steil in Congress more than he wants to keep notorious bootlicker Derrick Van Orden in Congress?? The only thing this could mean is that we need to get rid of BOTH of them this November to make a real change in Wisconsin.

I've been traveling all around the state and everyone is saying the same thing: Rising costs are crushing us. As governor, I'm going to focus on lowering costs — like repealing a depression era law that hikes up the price of gas — and delivering relief to working families.
