Still undecided about Wisconsin governor race? Here's a guide to help
The latest Marquette University Law School poll found 34% of Democratic voters hadn't decided who to vote for. In an earlier poll, 30% of Republican voters were also undecided.
The Aug. 11 election also features primaries for lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer and possibly state Legislature and Congress, depending on where you live. But the governor's race is at the top of the ballot.
The Democratic primary has been chaotic, to say the least. Sara Rodriguez dropped out after revelations that her campaign was in financial trouble. That prompted David Crowley, who had left the race and endorsed Rodriguez, to jump back in with Gov. Tony Evers' support. Then, less than two weeks before the election, Mandela Barnes dropped out.
That leaves four Democrats: Francesca Hong, a state lawmaker and democratic socialist, who has consistently led in the polls; Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive who some Democrats see as a more mainstream alternative to Hong; and state Sen. Kelda Roys and former Evers Cabinet secretary Joel Brennan, who have polled in the single digits.
And while there are two candidates running on the Republican side, U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany is almost certain to advance and face the winning Democrat on Nov. 3.
Took this "Tom Tiffany" photo as I passed by it:
