Six of the 10 have endorsed Clinton. Four others, including State Representative David Bowen (D-Milwaukee) have not made an endorsement announcement.

Tuesday night Bowen talked about Sanders’ win.

"The Democrats of Wisconsin have spoken significantly and they backed the Bernie Sanders platform and the Bernie Sanders candidacy. It's good that we had a good race with two great candidates, and one came out on top of that." Bowen said.

Turnout was huge Tuesday, more than 2,000,000 people hit the polls. That's more than 47 percent statewide, and the highest number for a Wisconsin Presidential primary since 1972.
