Democratic Gov. Tony Evers has won reelection in the hotly contested Wisconsin governor’s race, defeating his Republican opponent, Tim Michels.
Evers, the state’s former top education official, ousted Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican, in 2018 by a single point. Michels had attempted to paint Evers as soft on crime, but Democrats were able to pull off a victory with a campaign that included a rally headlined by former President Barack Obama late last month.
. “Tony’s doing the right thing for Wisconsin. He cares about people like you, and he needs your support at the ballot box.”Evers made abortion a central feature of the race, focusing on his opponent’s support for an 1849 law that went into effect following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade in June. The 1849 law made it a felony to perform the procedure in the state, resulting in a total ban except when the life of the mother is in danger.
