Sanders Passes on Hong Endorsement | Green Bay News

Bernie Sanders drops a surprise: he’s not endorsing Francesca Hong in the Wisconsin governor’s race, citing his focus on Senate and House races instead. Though he met Hong years ago, he admits he’s not deeply familiar with her campaign. Still, her movement has rallied support from groups tied to Sanders — including Our Revolution — and high-profile allies like Ilham Omar and Nina Turner. Meanwhile, Governor Tony Evers and Congresswoman Gwen Moore have backed David Crowley, the Milwaukee County Executive challenging Hong. Even though Rep. Mark Pocan praised Hong’s historic potential as Wisconsin’s first woman and Asian American governor, he stopped short of endorsing her — underscoring the fractured Democratic landscape in this pivotal race.
