Crowley collected nearly 90% of the vote in Madison in the November 2026 gubernatorial election, about five points better than Kamala Harris's 2024 Madison result and nearly two points better than Tony Evers's 2022 showing. Tiffany received below 11% of the city's vote.
Why it matters
The margins show how far Madison's electorate moved toward the Democratic ticket compared with recent cycles, a shift that shapes the city's political baseline. Ward-level results also reveal where turnout and support were concentrated across the city.
Ward-level results show Crowley took 2,313 votes in Ward 114, over 83% of that ward's vote, while Tiffany took 521 votes in Ward 113, nearly 25% there. Same-day registrations are not counted in the November 1 baseline used for turnout.
