Overview
- The state party hosted all seven Democratic gubernatorial candidates at its convention in Madison where each laid out proposals on affordability, health care, and education.
- Party chair Devin Remiker announced no convention endorsement and said the neutral stance is meant to avoid primary fractures and concentrate resources for the general election.
- Candidates used the platform to differentiate themselves with distinct policy proposals such as a moratorium on AI data centers, an open buy‑in to the state health plan, and proposals for universal child care and progressive taxation.
- All campaigns agreed to participate in a live primary debate hosted by WISN at Marquette University and the party signaled intensified outreach as early in‑person absentee voting and the August primary approach.
- Remiker emphasized a strong fundraising advantage over Republicans and framed the convention as part of a broader effort to turn recent organizing gains into a potential Democratic win of the governor’s office and legislative control.
