How will you use the powers of the Governor’s office in collaboration with the legislature to protect the health, financial well-being, and rights of all Wisconsinites?

I believe government should be a partner in helping people build stable, healthy and successful lives. As Governor, I will use every tool available from the state budget, executive agencies, and executive action to expand access to affordable health care, strengthen public education, increase housing opportunities, support working families, and protect fundamental rights. Success requires both leadership and collaboration. I will work with legislators, local governments, businesses, labor, educators, and community organizations to find common-sense solutions to Wisconsin's biggest challenges. My approach will be guided by outcomes: healthier families, stronger communities, greater economic opportunity, and a government that delivers results

Education
Crowley

What, if anything, will you do to guarantee each neighborhood public school has the resources to improve outcomes for its students, including those with disabilities?

Every student deserves access to a high-quality public education regardless of their ZIP code, family income, or ability. I will work to restore Wisconsin's commitment to funding two-thirds of K-12 education costs, increase per-pupil aid, and modernize the school funding formula so resources reflect student needs. Communities should not have to go to referendum every few years just to keep the lights on or maintain basic educational services. I will make increasing special education reimbursement a top priority so schools are no longer forced to divert classroom dollars to meet federally mandated services. I support expanding access to school counselors, mental health services, career and technical education, and high quality childcare.

Racial disparities exist in child poverty rates, educational achievement, infant mortality rates, incarceration rates, and other issues facing Wisconsinites. What, if anything, will you do to reduce systemic racial disparities throughout Wisconsin?

Wisconsin cannot reach its full potential while racial disparities continue to affect outcomes in education, health care, housing, economic opportunity, and the justice system. I will focus on addressing root causes by expanding access to quality education, affordable housing, health care, workforce development, and good-paying jobs.As Milwaukee County Executive, I treat racism as a public health crisis and led the county's first strategic plan in more than 20 years, focused on reducing disparities and improving outcomes. I will bring that same approach to state government, using data to identify disparities, targeting investments where they can make the greatest difference, and ensuring every Wisconsinite has opportunity to succeed.

Prepare Kids for Success

When Tom talks to parents across Wisconsin—from Milwaukee to Hayward, Green Bay to Eau Claire—they all say the same thing: they want schools that actually prepare their kids for success. Under the so-called “education governor” Tony Evers, only 31% of 4th graders are reading at grade level, which is below Mississippi. Wisconsin kids deserve better. They should be in school learning to read, write, and do math in the …

Housing
Crowley

Affordable, Safe Housing Across Wisconsin

Crowley will build and preserve affordable housing in rural, urban, and suburban communities across the state. He’ll cut barriers that slow new housing, while making sure the homes we build are energy-efficient, resilient, and within reach for working families.

Jobs and Wages That Build Futures

Crowley will grow an economy rooted in local ownership and union labor. He’ll take his Building Bridges Program statewide—revitalizing storefronts, activating commercial corridors, and creating jobs block by block. Every infrastructure dollar will put local people to work in good-paying jobs, backed by strong labor …

Lower Costs for Every Wisconsinite

Alongside President Trump, Tom delivered the largest tax cut in history for working families, seniors, and small businesses. He ended taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security. He expanded affordable childcare, opened more pathways to trade schools, and created real opportunities for workers to get ahead.

Restore Order and Create Opportunity

Tom will restore order and create opportunity for our great state. That means building again. Manufacturing again. Powering Wisconsin with reliable, affordable energy again, and protecting Wisconsin workers from being undercut by foreign labor.

Elections, ethics & government
Crowley

What, if anything, will you do to preserve state-run elections, ensure voters are able to cast their ballots, and promote confidence in the outcomes of our elections?

As Governor, I will defend Wisconsin's constitutional authority over elections, protect every eligible citizen's right to vote, and safeguard the public servants who make our democracy work. That means using the courts, executive authority, and the veto pen to push back against federal overreach, political interference, or any effort to undermine free and fair elections. I will oppose attempts to make it harder for voters to cast a ballot or intimidate the poll workers who carry out this essential work. I support early voting, absentee voting, strong cybersecurity protections, and fair, nonpartisan maps. Democracy is strongest when every eligible voter can participate fully, every lawful vote is counted, and poll workers can do their jobs.

Protect What Makes Wisconsin Great

Protect Common Sense: Tom will stand up for Wisconsin values, a way of life where common sense beats woke nonsense. He believes girls’ sports and locker rooms should be for girls, and that moms are moms, not “inseminated persons.” He will also ensure that able-bodied adults without children work in order to receive welfare benefits, which nearly 80% of Wisconsinites supported in 2023.

Background & priorities
Crowley

Please describe your priorities for your term in office and your specific qualifications to effectively address those issues.

My focus will be on making Wisconsin more affordable, strengthening public education, expanding access to health care, and creating economic opportunity in every corner of the state. That means tackling the housing shortage, lowering costs for working families, investing in our public schools, expanding apprenticeships and workforce training, and improving access to mental health care. I have spent my career delivering results, not just talking about them. As Milwaukee County Executive, I led major investments in housing, mental health, economic development, and public safety while building partnerships across political lines. I helped secure Act 12, one of the most significant local government funding reforms in decades.
