Summary
Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist, lost Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary to David Crowley, who is seen as a more moderate candidate. Despite this, Crowley has supported policies similar to Hong’s, including taxing millionaires and climate goals. Crowley has also implemented racial-equity budgeting and expanded the county’s equity bureaucracy. He has called for suing fossil fuel companies over environmental damage. Both candidates share positions on minimum wage, union rights, and child care. Crowley’s policies have drawn criticism from Republicans, who accuse him of mismanagement.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Crowley’s policies mirror Hong’s on taxes and climate.
He pushed for racial equity and sued fossil fuel companies.
His campaign claims he is a moderate, but his actions suggest otherwise.
Progressive policies persist even after a socialist loses.
