> Wisconsin Representative Bryan Steil characterized moderate David Crowley and democratic socialist Francesca Hong as “two sides of the same coin.” Crowley recently won an upset victory in the Democratic primary and will face Republican Tom Tiffany in the fall. Steil expects a close contest. He said voters are likely to focus on “kitchen table issues” rather than revisit Tiffany’s position on the 2020 election results.
