History

Historical Context

Barack Obama announced his presidential run on February 10 2007 and won the November 4 2008 election with 365 electoral votes and 52.9% of the popular vote, becoming the first African-American president and triggering a Democratic wave. That historic breakthrough underlies Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley’s 2024 campaign for Wisconsin governor, where he aims to become a Black governor against Republican Tom Tiffany, who is supported by Donald Trump.
