Town Hall Series: Wisconsin Gubernatorial Candidates

The Town Hall series brings together the candidates for Governor of Wisconsin for a timely, issues-focused conversation on the future of the state. Designed to inform and engage, each session provides a forum for candidates to share their priorities, outline their vision for Wisconsin, and respond to questions on topics that matter most to communities, employers, and residents.

Town Hall Session #6: Francesca Hong

Francesca Hong, who became the first Asian American woman elected to the Wisconsin state assembly in 2020, is running on a progressive platform focused on universal childcare, paid leave, expanding BadgerCare, and raising the minimum wage. Her campaign emphasizes economic justice, family support, and a grassroots, corporate-PAC-free approach aimed at delivering bold, structural change for working-class Wisconsinites.

This town hall-style meeting will be led by the MMAC President, Dale Kooyenga.
