Wisconsin works best when leaders deliver. Outlined below are the public policy priorities of Wisconsin Future Rising. Milwaukee County Executive, David Crowley has worked with Governor Tony Evers to expand health care, build affordable housing, and invest in our schools.

These issues matter for every Wisconsin family, and our public officials need to fight for us..
Jobs & Wages
Good jobs build strong futures. County Executive David Crowley's Building Bridges Program has revitalized storefronts and created jobs block by block in Milwaukee County, with strong labor standards that lift the trades. Wisconsin needs more of this: apprenticeships that open doors to careers, support for small businesses in every community, and public investments that create family supporting jobs.
Health Care
Everyone deserves care that shows up when and where it's needed. County Executive David Crowley has fought to expand access to health care, mobile outreach, and addiction treatment in Milwaukee County. Wisconsin families shouldn't have to choose between seeing a doctor and paying the bills.
Affordable Housing
Housing costs are squeezing families in every corner of Wisconsin. County Executive David Crowley has delivered on affordable housing in Milwaukee County, and the need extends to rural, urban, and suburban communities alike. Wisconsin needs more housing that working families can actually afford.
Schools & Child Care
Every kid deserves a strong start. That means investing in public schools, expanding early childhood education, and making child care affordable and dependable so parents never have to choose between a paycheck and their kids. County Executive David Crowley has made children and families a priority, and Wisconsin should too.
Climate & Clean Energy
Climate action is economic investment. Under County Executive David Crowley's leadership, Milwaukee County cut its local carbon emissions nearly in half while creating jobs. Clean energy, retrofits, and modern infrastructure can do the same across Wisconsin.
Energy Costs & AI Data Centers
Wisconsin families shouldn't foot the bill for Big Tech's power grab. AI data centers are consuming massive amounts of electricity and causing energy rates to skyrocket. County Executive David Crowley is taking them on, because your utility bill shouldn't subsidize corporations that can pay their own way.
Responsible Budgets, Stronger Communities
Fiscal responsibility and fighting for working families go hand in hand. County Executive David Crowley passed balanced budgets while protecting public safety and expanding services, and he secured new revenue tools that give local communities the resources to invest in what matters most.
Standing Up for Wisconsin
Washington's chaos is hurting Wisconsin families. County Executive David Crowley is standing up to the Trump administration's harmful agenda and putting the people of this state first. Wisconsin needs leaders who won't back down.
