AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoElection Shift: Wisconsin voters elected David Crowley as the state’s first Black governor and gave Democrats control of the governor’s office, Senate and Assembly for the first time in 16 years. The party also flipped two U.S. House seats; results remain unofficial until certified. What Comes Next: Crowley has put affordability and health care at the top of his agenda. School funding is an early test: districts say years of rising costs and tight revenue limits have made local referendums essential. Voters approved 45 of 79 school measures and rejected 34, renewing calls for a state funding fix. Ballot Measures: Voters approved two of three proposed constitutional amendments, including a limit on the governor’s partial veto power; the measure on closing places of worship during emergencies failed. County Budget: Milwaukee County disclosed a multimillion-dollar error in its proposed 2027 budget, leaving officials to find savings before adoption. Crowley, the county executive, is due to leave for the governor’s office in January. Election Operations: The Wisconsin Elections Commission reported polls opened on time statewide, with only minor equipment problems and brief power outages.
