Democratic gubernatorial candidate and Milwaukee County executive David Crowley visited Eau Claire earlier this month with less than a month until the midterm election.
Here's Civic Media's James Kelly.
Crowley spoke with local residents at Forage in downtown Eau Claire on Sunday morning, thanking them for their support and energizing them for the final stretch of the campaign.
He also shared his plans to address data center development in Wisconsin, an issue that has risen to the forefront of voters' minds over the last year.
I mean, I can't believe I'm now data center data crop.
And I want to be very clear.
We're going to be extremely aggressive about protecting our land, protecting our air, protecting our water quality.
But it's also important that every single community have a seat at the table.
Data centers need to earn their way.
And if a community doesn't want a data center, they would not be forced to have a data center.
And there's no if, and, or once in a while.
Healthcare is another issue of particular interest to the Chippewa Valley after years of working to address the sudden closure of two hospitals and a number of clinics.
Amid those struggles, federal cuts to Medicaid have also put more rural health care facilities at risk, with more cuts scheduled to go into effect following the midterm election.
Crowley highlighted expanding BadgerCare and creating a public option as a significant goal for his administration of elected to address that issue.
And so my goal is to expand badger care, make it as a, turn it into an alternative to for-profit insurance, allowing people to pay into this pool to make sure that people don't fall through the cracks, incentivizing our providers to make sure that people are within network and no longer have to travel hours away just to get the care that they need.
It needs to be available whenever and wherever they need it.
And so I'm looking forward to working with our rural communities, our rural hospitals, as well as as a state legislature to make sure that we're finding a
moving forward so we can bring cause down for everybody.
Crowley will face off with Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany for Wisconsin Governor in the November election.
That's James Kelly and for Northwood's News, I'm Maddie Schaefer.

This event was at the historic City Stadium where the Packers played before there was such a thing as Lambeau Field.
And Lambeau Field certainly made its presence known last night as the Packers hosted the Dallas Cowboys for primetime Sunday night football.

Now the Pack heads to Detroit to take on the Lions this Sunday.
Kickoff is set for 325.

All aboard for Wisconsin's growth as a $218 million federal rail grant rolls onto new tracks between Madison and Chicago.
The new Chicago to Madison extension is poised to inject $46 million in annual economic benefits across the state.

From better freight reliability for farmers to fresh foot traffic for small businesses, comfortable travel means confident commerce.
Wisconsin dairy processors couldn't get up to $50,000 to help with projects involving food safety, employee training, plant expansion or modernization and consulting services.

Wisconsin's two candidates for governor are preparing to face off in the only gubernatorial debate set for this Wednesday night.
Republican Tom Tiffany says his message will be consistent with what he's been saying on the campaign trail, focusing on affordability.
Democrat David Crowley says he's focused on delivering for hard-working families and wants the debate to show voters a clear contrast between his commitment to those families and what he calls Tiffany's willingness to do the bidding of billionaire donors.

this Wednesday, October 21.
