The Conversation Corporate-Backed Politicians Don't Want Us Having

When did politics stop serving people — and start serving donors? Or has it always been that way?In this conversation, I sit down with Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong to talk about the issues that rarely get honest airtime: corporate influence, the truth about Wisconsin's prison stats, and the real-life consequences for working families, and farms, across Wisconsin.Full transparency, this is a system that prioritizes special interests over the people who keep this state, along with every other state across the country, running. From housing and healthcare to labor, accountability, and representation — this is the conversation corporate-backed politics deflect at all costs. Because when people start connecting the dots, power gets uncomfortable. And it's high time we get real comfortable with causing some discomfort for a change. ______________________ SHARE THIS EPISODE NOW!! ______________________ Find today's guest, Francesca Hong, on socials: On IG - francescahongwi join team hong! - https://thelink.bio/francescahongwi On FB - Francesca Hong On TikTok - francescahong On Bluesky - francescahongwi.bsky.social On YT - FrancescaHongWI _________________________ Other helpful resources: know your rights - https://www.cityofmadison.com/council/district10/blog/2025-11-07/kyr-know-your-rights VOCES hotline - 800- 427-0213DM Francesca for more tips - @FrancescaHongWI _________________________ *intro/outro audio: The Plot Thickens by Joshua Spacht Owner: Soundstripe, Inc.
