In a statement to Fox News Digital, Republican National Committee national press secretary Kiersten Pels said, "Under David Crowley, Milwaukee has faced one of the highest homicide rates in the country, severe police staffing shortages, and a failing school district plagued by a financial crisis. It’s no wonder that Milwaukee County residents are fleeing. Now Crowley wants to take that same record statewide.
"Wisconsinites deserve better than the failed policies Crowley has inflicted on Milwaukee," she added.
Fox News Digital reached out to Crowley's campaign to request a comment from the candidate but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
