The Democratic nominee will be chosen to represent the party in Wisconsin's November 2026 governor's race.
That nominee sets the campaign's message on education, taxes, and health care, and determines whether Democrats can hold or flip the governor's office in a competitive midterm.
David Crowley, Missy Hughes, Sara Rodriguez, Kelda Roys, Joel Brennan, Chris Larson, Mandela Barnes, Francesca Hong, Brett Hulsey, Zachary Roper, Tim Jacobson, Melissa Agard, Tom Nelson, Tony Evers, Ben Wikler, and Josh Kaul are on the Democratic primary ballot.
They span statewide officials, legislators, local leaders, and activists with different regional bases and fundraising networks.
Fundraising, endorsements, and name recognition shape momentum across the primary.
Turnout in Milwaukee and Dane counties, debate performance, union support, TV ad buys, and national political dynamics drive short-term swings.
Look for new statewide and district polling releases, fundraising totals, and high-profile endorsements in the weeks before the primary.
Track early voting and county-level turnout in Milwaukee and Dane, ad buys, any scheduled debates, and day-of absentee and early-return counts.
