Democratic candidates for governor differ on priorities

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Finding meaningful differences in policy positions can be difficult in the Democratic primary for governor, where the eight candidates running have far more in common than not.

While the candidates are trying to differentiate themselves in other ways — background, endorsements, style — there are some notable variances in their platforms. Each of the eight candidates was asked by The Associated Press to identify the three policy positions they hold that they feel separates them from the field.

There is some overlap — more than one candidate lists increasing school funding as a priority — but they also draw some meaningful distinctions, and even a little humor.
