威斯康星州州长候选人大卫·克劳利是一名温和派候选人，本周在初选中击败了社会主义者弗朗西斯卡·洪，他表示不会与极左翼主播哈桑·皮克尔一同参选。

民主社会主义者弗朗西斯卡·洪本月早些时候在威斯康星州民主党州长初选中失利，但定义该政党极左翼阵营的一些进步政策可能并未随着她的竞选活动彻底消失。
作为被塑造成更温和选择的密尔沃基县行政长官，大卫·克劳利已监督实施种族平等预算、扩大该县的平等官僚机构，并敦促威斯康星州总检察长起诉化石燃料公司，以赔偿与环境相关的损失。与此同时，克劳利在对百万富翁征税和雄心勃勃的碳中和目标方面也与洪存在共识。
“密尔沃基县以啤酒和香肠闻名，但不幸的是，这里也是大卫·克劳利预算浪费的中心。在克劳利失败的领导下，居民们遭遇了15年来最大幅度的财产税上调，日常购物要缴纳更高的销售税，还眼睁睁看着他们辛勤赚来的数百万美元税收被用于资助克劳利为该县推行的绿色新政‘净零’骗局，”威斯康星州本地人、共和党顾问马克·贝德纳告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“在选民越来越关注经济和钱包的时代，威斯康星州民众应该扪心自问，他们真的想要将克劳利的严重管理不善和自由主义优先事项扩展到整个州吗？”他继续说道。“我猜威斯康星州民众会给出响亮的‘绝不’。”

在最近的一则竞选广告中，克劳利宣扬自己“办成实事”和“务实的两党解决方案”的政绩，而威斯康星公共广播电台在初选期间将他描述为洪的“主流民主党替代人选”。
哥伦比亚广播公司在他初选获胜后称他为“温和派民主党人”，而Axios则将克劳利的爆冷获胜视为民主党中左翼阵营可能的复兴。
但尽管被塑造成更温和的替代人选，克劳利与洪在几项重要政策立场上存在共识。克劳利本人在初选期间也承认了政策重叠，据WISN 12频道的“UpFront”节目报道，他在谈到与洪的分歧时告诉支持者：“很多事情大家都达成共识了，对吧？”同时补充称，两人在某些领域“绝对存在分歧”。
两人都支持对百万富翁增税、20美元的最低工资标准、扩大工会权利和普及托儿服务。他们的气候议程也存在显著相似之处——洪在竞选活动中提出到2050年让威斯康星州实现碳中和，而克劳利则签署了密尔沃基县的计划，目标是在同一年实现县级运营的净零排放。

克劳利在多元化、公平性和包容性（DEI）方面的记录也让他的“温和派”形象复杂化。其中包括将种族平等预算工具（REBT）纳入州预算流程。密尔沃基县将该工具描述为各部门用于评估预算决策如何影响有色人种社区的“结构化种族平等视角”。
在2022年的预算演讲中，克劳利表示，密尔沃基县所有部门“再次”使用了该工具，并被问及将如何利用额外资金“专门解决种族平等问题”。
“种族主义是密尔沃基县的公共健康危机，”该县2024年预算声明称。“种族平等预算工具是密尔沃基县各部门用于批判性评估预算决策对有色人种社区影响的结构化种族平等视角。”
克劳利担任密尔沃基县行政长官期间还将该县的非裔美国人事务办公室改组为更广泛的“平等办公室”，将原办公室的服务范围扩大到“其他有色人种社区、LGBTQ+群体和不同能力人群”，同时加强了对该县现有种族平等目标的问责。
气候政策是克劳利在密尔沃基执政期间的另一项重点工作。2025年4月，他签署了密尔沃基县的《2050年气候行动计划》，该计划由其政府在县议会2021年通过碳中和目标后制定。该计划旨在到2050年实现县级政府运营的净零碳排放——这与洪的全州气候议程中提出的威斯康星州实现碳中和的年份相同。

克劳利还在2022年签署了一项决议，呼吁威斯康星州总检察长起诉化石燃料公司，并就威斯康星州社区遭受的环境和气候损害寻求赔偿。今年4月，在联邦气候政策出现倒退之际，他签署了一项法案，重申密尔沃基县对《巴黎协定》原则和目标的承诺。

‘Moderate’ Dem gubernatorial candidate embraced DEI budget tool, Green New Deal-style policies
David Crowley has touted ‘practical bipartisan solutions’ on the campaign trail while his Milwaukee County record includes radical DEI and climate policies

Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate David Crowley,a moderate who upset socialist Francesca Hong in the primary this week, said he would not campaign with far-left streamer Hasan Piker.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Democratic socialist Francesca Hong lost Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary earlier this month, but some of the progressive policies that define the party’s far-left flank may not have disappeared with her campaign entirely.
David Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive who defeated Hong after being cast as the more moderate choice, has overseen racial-equity budgeting, expanded the county’s equity bureaucracy and urged the Wisconsin attorney general to sue fossil fuel companies for environmental-related damages. Meanwhile, Crowley has also shared ground with Hong on taxing millionaires and ambitious carbon-neutrality goals.
“Milwaukee County is known for it’s beer and brats, but unfortunately it’s also the epicenter of David Crowley’s budgetary boondoggles. Under Crowley’s failed leadership, residents received their largest property tax hike in 15 years, paid higher sales taxes for everyday purchases, and saw millions of their hard-earned tax dollars set up to finance Crowley’s Green New Deal ‘Net Zero’ scam for the county,” Wisconsin native and Republican consultant Mark Bednar told Fox News Digital.
“In an era where voters are increasingly focused on the economy and their pocketbooks, Wisconsinites should ask themselves, do they really want to expand Crowley’s gross mismanagement and liberal priorities to the whole state?” He continued. “I’m guessing a big Wisconsin ‘heck no.”

In a recent campaign ad, Crowley touted a record of “getting things done” and “practical bipartisan solutions,” while Wisconsin Public Radio described him during the primary as a “mainstream Democratic alternative” to Hong.
CBS News called him a “moderate Democrat” after his primary victory, while Axios framed Crowley’s upset as a potential revival for the Democratic Party’s center-left.
But, despite being cast as the more moderate alternative, Crowley has shared several significant policy positions with Hong. Crowley himself acknowledged the policy overlap during the primary, telling supporters that “there’s many things that everybody agrees on, right?” when discussing his differences with Hong, according to WISN 12’s “UpFront,” while adding that there were also areas where the two “absolutely disagree.”
Both have backed higher taxes on millionaires, a $20 minimum wage, expanded union rights and universal child care. Their climate agendas also contain a notable parallel – Hong campaigned on making Wisconsin carbon-neutral by 2050, while Crowley signed Milwaukee County’s plan to bring county operations to net-zero emissions by the same year.

Crowley’s record on DEI complicates his “moderate” image as well. It includes embedding a Racial Equity Budget Tool (REBT) into the state budgeting process. Milwaukee County describes the tool as a “structured racial equity lens” for departments to assess how budget decisions affect communities of color.
In his 2022 budget address, Crowley said all the Milwaukee County departments had “once again” used the tool and were asked what they would do with additional funding “to specifically address racial equity.”
“Racism is a public health crisis in Milwaukee County,” the county’s 2024 budget stated. “The REBT is a structured racial equity lens for Milwaukee County departments to use to critically assess the impact of budget decisions on communities of color.”
Crowley’s tenure as Milwaukee County executive also transformed the county’s Office on African American Affairs into a broader “Office of Equity,” which grew the original office’s reach to “other communities of color, LGBTQ+ and people with varying abilities,” while increasing accountability for the county’s existing racial-equity goals.
Climate policy has been another focus of Crowley’s tenure in Milwaukee. In April 2025, he signed Milwaukee County’s Climate Action 2050 plan, developed by his administration after the County Board adopted a carbon-neutrality goal in 2021. The plan seeks to bring county government operations to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 — the same year Hong’s statewide climate agenda called for Wisconsin to become carbon-neutral.

Crowley also signed a 2022 resolution calling on Wisconsin’s attorney general to sue fossil-fuel companies and seek damages for environmental and climate harm in Wisconsin communities. And, in April, he signed legislation reaffirming Milwaukee County’s commitment to the principles and goals of the Paris Agreement amid federal climate-policy rollbacks.
