The race for Wisconsin governor is heading toward debates, but the two candidates are not yet locked into any dates.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley visited Eau Claire last week as part of a statewide unity tour following Tuesday's primary.
Civic media's James Kelly has more.
Crowley emerged victorious in the Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor last week, narrowly defeating state representative Francesca Hong.
Following the event, he shared his thoughts on the victory just weeks after deciding to exit and then re-enter the race.
Well, if you believe it, it can happen.
I think that you want to manifest as much as possible, but we didn't know what we're getting ourselves into when we decided to
get
back into this race and pretty much do a three week, three and a half week sprint.
But as we began to travel all across the state, we've seen the momentum, we've seen the enthusiasm.
And so, yes, this was a nail biter, but for us to get over the hump and win this primary election, I think this is good for our state.
Crowley also shared his views on data center developments, an issue that will be at the forefront of the gubernatorial race.
He says local communities should have the power to make the final decision on whether to allow one of the facilities to be built in their area, with measures in place to protect the environment and protect local residents from being forced to foot the bill.
What we have to do is make sure that we are protecting our communities.
We're protecting our environment and protecting the jobs of the future.
So all these data centers, they need to pay their own way.
Not one single dime should be passed on to any Wisconsin taxpayer.
We have to protect ourselves.
And at the end of the day, that's what we're going to do.
I'm James Kelly for Civic Media News.
Crowley will face off with Republican nominee Congressman Tom Tiffany for Wisconsin Governor in November.
