Wisconsin State Rep. Francesca Hong is running for Governor — she’s from Madison, a former restaurant owner and chef, bartender, and single mom who rents and sends her kid to public schools. Francesca is exactly the kind of candidate the Democratic establishment told us couldn’t win.
She joins Let’s Address This live today to talk about her no-corporate-PAC campaign, the fight to protect voting rights as Republicans gut the Voting Rights Act and gerrymander Wisconsin’s congressional maps, and why a working-class movement — not incrementalism — is the only path forward. From taxing the rich to confronting big tech’s takeover of Wisconsin’s natural resources, this conversation is a blueprint for what it looks like when the people closest to the pain are finally closest to the power.
