Outside groups are spending money in the Democratic primary for governor, as candidates struggle to stand out in a crowded field.
One group, the Wisconsin Forward Fund, is backing Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez. Another, Wisconsin Future Rising, is backing Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley. Both are planning six-figure television ad buys in the major markets of Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay.
