First Wisconsin Governor David Crowley Bobblehead Unveiled

MILWAUKEE – Today, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled the first bobblehead of David Crowley, who was elected the 47th governor of Wisconsin on Tuesday, November 3rd. With his victory over Republican U.S. representative Tom Tiffany, Crowley became Wisconsin’s first African American governor. The first David Crowley bobblehead is being produced exclusively by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum and is part of a new series featuring some of the most requested political bobbleheads related to the 2026 Midterm elections and the upcoming 2028 elections.

Standing on a circular red, white, and blue, stars and stripes base bearing his name, the smiling Crowley bobblehead, with his hands in his pockets, is wearing glasses and a blue suit with a blue tie. Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,026 and they are only available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store. The bobbleheads, which are expected to ship in April, are $30 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.

Born in Milwaukee, the 40-year-old Crowley has served as the seventh executive of Milwaukee County since 2020. A member of the Democratic Party, Crowley previously represented Wisconsin’s 17th Assembly district, including the west side of Milwaukee, from 2017 to 2020. Crowley is the first African American to serve as Milwaukee County’s top official and the youngest person elected to the office, having taken office in May 2020 at age 33. Crowley resumed his undergraduate studies while serving as county executive and earned a bachelor’s degree in community engagement and education from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in December 2024, delivering the commencement address at his graduation ceremony.

Despite having temporarily withdrawn his candidacy and re-entered the race 24 days before the August 11th primary, Crowley won the Democratic nomination in an upset victory over state representative Francesca Hong by a narrow margin of 0.48 percent. He received 39.8 percent of the vote. As county executive, Crowley’s administration focused heavily on local fiscal challenges, housing stability, public health initiatives (such as distributing free Narcan and fentanyl test strips), and the passage of 2023 Wisconsin Act 12, which allowed for a local sales tax increase and revamped state aid.

Crowley defeated Tiffany by about seven percentage points, according to unofficial results, and Tiffany conceded at around 9:45 p.m. on election night. Running alongside Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski as his lieutenant governor, Crowley focused his campaign on lowering costs for working families and bringing more jobs to Wisconsin. He overcame being outspent by as much as 2.5 to 1 at times and had the endorsement of retiring Democratic Governor Tony Evers, whom he will succeed.

“We are excited to unveil the first bobblehead of newly elected Wisconsin Governor David Crowley to commemorate his historic victory,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “This bobblehead is sure to be popular among Governor Crowley supporters and people who follow politics.”
