Another Democrat enters the governor’s race. Madison State Representative Francesca Hong announced her candidacy Wednesday morning. A member of the Assembly’s Socialist Caucus, Hong is considered one of the furthest-left-leaning voices in the state Legislature. Her election to the state Assembly in 2000 made Hong the first Asian American to serve in the chamber. She joins a field of Democrats that includes Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and State Senator Kelda Roys. Partisan primaries are next August.
