MADISON, WI (WSAU) A very close primary for governor is too close to call.
With more than 98% of the vote counted, Milwaukee County executive David Crowley leads Francesca Hong by about 3,000 votes.
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin has sent out a press release congratulating Crowley as the winner.
Hong sent supports home from what was supposed to be her victory party at the Atwood Music Hall in Madison around midnight. Most polls suggested that Hong would be the likely winner in Tuesday’s voting. She told the crowd that the fight to reach the governor’s office is not over yet.
“We are fighting to become once more what Wisconsin has always been-a place where our future is determined not by corporations and billionaires, but our future that’s determined by the working-class people who live here,” Hong said. Hong did not concede the race
Crowley may be the unlikelist of winners. He dropped out of the race nearly three weeks ago, and re-entered the contest, with the endorsement of Governor Tony Evers, a week later.
The winner of the primary will fave republican Tom Tiffany in the general election in November.
