.@EricHovde, who lost to Dem @SenatorBaldwin in 2024, told @WisPolitics @StateAffairsUS in a phone interview 🗣 yesterday that he believes the never-ending political cycle is “insane” and he won’t think about another run over the next six or nine months.

Gov.-elect @DavidCCrowley says he'd sign a bill 📑 that immediately redraws #Wisconsin's congressional maps 📍 if passed by the Dem-run #Legislature early next year.

"Right now I'm focusing on putting the transition team in place to make sure that we're going to be ready on day one and to deliver results for Wisconsinites all across the state of Wisconsin," 🗣 Crowley told @WISN12News' #UPFRONT, which is produced in partnership with @WisPolitics @StateAffairsUS. "But just to put a nail in the coffin when it comes to this, if the bill was to reach my desk, I will sign it."

#Crowley wouldn't commit to passing any specific pieces of legislation in his first 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ days, including what he would like lawmakers to take up first.
