What a difference a week makes. Last week, I wrote about how I was torn between Francesca Hong and Mandela Barnes, ultimately giving the edge to Barnes.
Then, today, a week later, Barnes dropped out of the race. The speculation is that the establishment's smear campaign kicked it in high gear in a futile effort to give the Zombie Crowley campaign some traction. I guess when he can't run on his track record, he can only build himself up by tearing everyone else down.
According to every poll I have seen, Hong is starting to pull away from the others in this race. Her lead is sure to grow a lot with Barnes's departure. Given that I was already torn, it was an easy decision to go full on for Hong to be governor.
I agree with her on almost every issue. She is for women's rights, workers' rights, and voters' rights. She not only wants to make things more affordable and improve everyone's quality of life, but she also has a plan on how to do these things.
Maybe most importantly, I know that Hong will not sell us out. She will serve the people of Wisconsin, and not the big money or big corporations. That in itself is worth our votes.
I will be gladly and proudly voting for Hong in the primary, and I hope you will join me.
