Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers is endorsing Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley in the state's Democratic gubernatorial primary, a day after the race was shaken up by the departure of another candidate, and just weeks ahead of the primary election.
At a formal event later Saturday, according to remarks provided to The Associated Press ahead of their delivery, Crowley planned to say that Evers' decision to back him “reflects his confidence that I have the experience, the judgment, and the record to build the coalition we need, defeat Tom Tiffany, and lead effectively from the very first day in office.”
