David Crowley, the Moderate Democrat, beat democratic socialist Francesca Hong narrowly, winning the Wisconsin Governor primary. He will now go up against Republican Tom Tiffany, who has been endorsed by President Donald Trump, when the elections take place this November.
“Now, David is focused on bringing people together, earning the support of Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and anyone who believes Wisconsin is at its best when we work together and deliver results,” Crowley's campaign manager said amid the win.
The victory has also put focus on David Crowley's family and net worth. Here's all you need to know.
David Crowley is married to his wife, Ericka. The couple has three daughters together – Ava, Alyssa, and Autumn. Speaking about his kids, Crowley said “They ask more questions than most 9- and 6-year-olds do about what their dad does for a living, but for them, they understand that we are a family of service," as per The Cap Times.
Crowley sometimes plays Zelda or Mario Party with his daughters, the publication reported. He grew up on the north side of Milwaukee, where his family moved many times and were sometimes evicted. “What I realized is that even something like an eviction can change the course of a life. And whether it’s for the good or for the worse, how housing really impacts the trajectory, and how housing, ZIP codes can determine futures," he said. Further, remembering his childhood, Crowley said “I wanted to serve my family before I actually sat down and started eating. And so they used to call me ‘governor’.”
Crowley joined, Urban Underground – a local youth leadership program – as a teenager. He graduated from Bay View High School in Milwaukee and attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. However, at this time, he began to act as an organizer for Democratic U.S. Senator Russ Feingold’s 2010 reelection campaign and was then a legislative aide to Milwaukee County Supervisor Nikiya Harris Dodd.
Crowley didn't complete school when he left in 2012 for a life in politics. He later got a bachelor’s degree in community engagement and education in 2024.
Crowley's net worth is not a matter of public record. However, as per estimates a Milwaukee County Executive makes about $129,106 per year. This could put his net worth somewhere between $150,000 and $500,000 based on savings and expense patterns. Notably, this is only an estimate and not indicative of what Crowley's actual net worth might be.
