Speaking as Wisconsin's governor-elect, David Crowley says he didn't run to be the first Black governor. He wants to make child poverty and income inequality history, and he wants every kid, whatever their zip code or last name, even one facing eviction, to know they too could end up moving into the governor's residence.

But I didn't run to be the first black governor. I didn't run to make history. If anything, I want to make child poverty history. I want to make income inequality history. And I want every young kid, no matter what zip code that they live in, or what last name they may have, or a kid who may be facing eviction, I want them to dream and understand that they too can be able to work hard, be kind, and build relationships where you may get elected to be moving into the governor's residence such as I am.
