Two weeks before the Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor, WISN 12 hosted a debate between the five candidates. <\/p>\n

Mandela Barnes, Joel Brennan, David Crowley, Francesca Hong and Kelda Roys will faced off in the hour-long debate moderated by WISN 12’s Matt Smith and Gerron Jordan.<\/p>\n

It took place at Marquette University. <\/p>\n

The questions and topics ranged from the Madison police shooting to data centers. <\/p>\n

Question 1 to David Crowley<\/p>\n

Some have accused you of being the latest prop for the Democratic establishment. So, are you, and why should the voters trust your judgement and your ability to win?<\/p>\n

Question 2 to Francesca Hong<\/p>\n

Do you fully back the DSA platform, and why should primary voters trust your judgement and your ability to win statewide?<\/p>\n

Question 3 to Mandela Barnes<\/p>\n

Why should primary voters trust you to win statewide this time? <\/p>\n

Question 4 to Joel Brennan and Kelda Roys<\/p>\n

You are both polling in the single digits, and have been since the start of this race, at this point, are primary voters wasting their vote on a vote for you? <\/p>\n

    Topic 1 Madison shooting and defunding police departmentsTopic 2 Failed tax relief deal<\/strong> Topic 3 $2.5 billion tax surplusTopic 4 Income tax increase for ‘The Rich’Topic 5: Property tax relief<\/p>\n
