威斯康星州周二启动提前投票，参与该州混乱的民主党州长初选[1]。此次初选将于8月11日举行，获胜者将在11月对阵共和党众议院议员汤姆·蒂法尼[1]。
民主党方面共有五位候选人参与角逐[1]。其中包括获得现任州长托尼·埃弗斯背书的密尔沃基县行政长官大卫·克劳利、前副州长曼德拉·巴恩斯以及民主社会主义者弗朗西斯卡·洪[1]。竞选过程中出现变数，克劳利曾于7月8日宣布退出，随后在7月17日重新进入竞选[1]；同样在7月17日，候选人萨拉·罗德里格斯因竞选财务丑闻退出[1]。截至周一，已有超过100,000张邮寄选票被退回[1]，提前投票的截止日期为8月9日[1]。
Wisconsin voters started casting ballots early on Tuesday in a chaotic Democratic primary race for governor [1]. Five candidates are competing in the primary, scheduled for August 11 [1], with the winner advancing to face Republican Tom Tiffany, a sitting U.S. congressman backed by former President Trump, in November [1].
The Democratic field includes democratic socialist Francesca Hong, former Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes, and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, who has secured the endorsement of incumbent Governor Tony Evers [1]. The race has been marked by significant volatility: Crowley initially withdrew on July 8 before rejoining the contest on July 17 [1], while candidate Sara Rodriguez exited the race on July 17 citing campaign finance controversies [1]. As of Monday, more than 100,000 mail-in ballots had already been returned [1], with early voting set to conclude on August 9 [1].
