Republicans Spend $2.2M to Attack Hong | Green Bay News

Republicans are pouring nearly $2.2 million into ads targeting Democratic gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong, spotlighting her progressive views on immigration and branding her as too liberal for Wisconsin — a move Democrats say is a calculated strategy to steer her into the general election as their easiest opponent. The ads, airing for a month in Milwaukee and Madison, highlight her support for blocking local cooperation with ICE and her calls to return Wisconsin to its progressive roots. Hong’s campaign dismisses the ads as politically motivated and offensive, especially given recent ICE-related deaths, and vows to fight back, confident they’ll surprise voters and win the August 11 primary — and ultimately the general election.
