<p>(The Center Square) – Former Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. head Missy Hughes is entering the race for governor.</p>
<p>"As governor, I will create a main street economy that works for you and includes you," Hughes said in a campaign video posted Monday morning.</p>
<p>Before taking the WEDC role, Hughes was the leader of Organic Valley, the farmer-owned dairy cooperative, for 17 years.</p>
<p>Hughes joins a crowded field for the Democratic nomination that includes Rep. Francesca Hong, D-Madison, Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez, state Sen. Kelda Roys, D-Madison, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and former Democrat State Rep. Brett Hulsey.</p>
<p>Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany and Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann are the candidates on the Republican side after Bill Berrien dropped out of the race on Friday.</p>
<p>"I'm not a politician, and that's the point," Hughes said. "To create a prosperous economy for the future in all 72 counties, we need a leader who knows what it takes to create jobs, support workers, and attract businesses – and who rejects divisive politics that leaves so many behind."</p>
