Wisconsin’s Democratic primary for governor remained too close to call Tuesday night, with Madison Rep. Francesca Hong and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley nearly tied, according to unofficial results. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong addresses the crowd at her election night event on Aug. 11, 2026. There was far more certainty in the Republican primary for governor, where U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany coasted to victory over Republican Andy Manske. At Tiffany’s election watch party in Hartland, his supporters were surprised to see the race between Hong and Crowley so close. And in 2019, Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election was so close that the Associated Press decided not to call the race.
