Why the Political Consultants are Wrong: Francesca Hong is the Most Electable Candidate

Dear Citizen Action Members and Friends:
In the stretch run to the critical Wisconsin primary for governor on Tuesday August 11, anonymous “Democratic strategists” in the news media are doing everything they can to scare thoughtful progressives about the “electability” of Francesca Hong.
These claims come from self-interested people who profit from the big money politics which are blocking the bold reforms Wisconsin desperately needs. Francesca Hong and the movement she had built is an existential threat to their business model.
Many of you, even if you already support Hong, hear these concerns from thoughtful people who want the best for our state. To help clear the air from these misleading claims, and arm you with the facts, I recorded a video where I make the case that establishment Democratic strategists are wrong and Francesca Hong is the most electable candidate for governor.
If you like the video please share it with your networks.
In a deep member-centered process, Citizen Action endorsed Francesca Hong because
Wisconsinites in every region and walk of life are fed up with the artificial constraints placed on what the state government can accomplish to improve people’s lives and provide the best opportunity to thrive.
Francesca Hong is the candidate most firmly committed to using the full democratic power of state government to wrestle control from the massive corporate monopolies that have for too long held a hammerlock on state policy. More on the rationale for the Citizen Action endorsement here.
If you want to help get Francesca Hong over the top on August 11th please join us for member phone banks this Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday.
After the primary, if you live in the Milwaukee area please join us for a Town Hall on the $20 Minimum Wage on August 19th. We have invited Francesca Hong to attend. You can RSVP here.
In Peace & Solidarity,
Robert Kraig
Executive Director.
