Harris Campaigns for Crowley, Cites Medicaid Cuts in Wisconsin Race
At a "Women for Crowley" rally in Milwaukee, former Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned for Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate David Crowley ahead of the Nov. 3 election. Harris criticized opponent Tom Tiffany's vote for federal legislation that cut Medicaid by $1 trillion, noting Medicaid finances about half of U.S. births, maternal health care, and rural hospitals. Crowley and his wife Ericka also emphasized reproductive rights, with Crowley pledging to pursue a state constitutional amendment protecting reproductive freedom if elected. Tiffany's campaign countered with a release attacking Crowley on taxes, immigration, and gun policy.
Why it mattersWisconsin's gubernatorial outcome will shape whether the state's Medicaid program faces further cuts or expansion under federal policy changes, directly affecting coverage for low-income residents, rural hospitals, and maternal health providers.
