Summary
A democratic socialist, Francesca Hong, is challenging the Democratic establishment's preferred candidate in Wisconsin's chaotic primary race for governor. The winner will face Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany in November. Hong, a 37-year-old single mother and former line cook, has energized the liberal wing with calls for free childcare and healthcare, despite past controversial social media posts. Establishment Democrats and Governor Tony Evers are backing David Crowley, fearing Hong's platform might hinder the party's chances against Tiffany.
