David D. King Officially Launches Independent Campaign for Governor of Wisconsin

Milwaukee, WI – January 9th, 2026 — Community leader, pastor, and author Dr. David D. King officially launched his independent campaign for Governor of Wisconsin today, unveiling a people-centered movement focused on unity, families, and opportunity.

Running outside the two-party system, King says Wisconsin voters deserve leadership that puts people before politics and solutions before division.

“This campaign is about restoring trust and putting the people of Wisconsin back at the center of government,” King said. “We don’t need more red versus blue—we need leadership that listens and brings us together.”

King’s platform prioritizes strengthening families, supporting small businesses and farmers, improving education, expanding holistic healthcare, reducing crime through community-based solutions, and creating economic opportunity across urban and rural communities.

The campaign kickoff marks the start of a statewide listening tour, where King will meet directly with residents, faith leaders, and local business owners to hear their concerns and ideas for Wisconsin’s future.

King emphasized that his campaign is grassroots-driven and powered by everyday Wisconsinites, not political parties or special interests.
