Crute says, “You’ve never seen bold like I’m about to bring down on the state of Wisconsin.”
Other Democrats running include state Superintendent Tony Evers, Madison Mayor Paul Soglin, state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout of Alma, state Rep. Dana Wachs of Eau Claire and former state Rep. Kelda Roys of Madison.
Also running are Milwaukee businessman Andy Gronik, statewide firefighter union leader Mahlon Mitchell, former state party Chairman Matt Flynn and political activist Mike McCabe.
