[르포] 프란체스카 홍 지지자들, 폭염 속 선거 하루 전에도 ‘똑똑’

In the evening of the 10th, just hours before election day, a resident named Nathan in a residential area near Madison, Wisconsin, engaged in door-to-door campaigning for Democratic Party gubernatorial candidate Françoise Hong. Nathan had a conversation with a young woman who expressed her strong support for Hong, stating that she and her family were committed to voting for her.

The woman also mentioned that she was considering voting for Hong as well. Nathan continued his canvassing efforts, encountering various responses, from welcoming conversations to rejections. He noted that the opposition candidate, David Croll, was receiving support from some residents as well. Despite the varying reactions, Nathan remained committed to his cause, emphasizing that the campaign's approach of not accepting corporate donations and focusing on door-to-door engagement set them apart from other candidates.

The candidate believed that Wisconsin's political landscape, being a battleground state with both parties closely contested, favored a campaign that prioritized personal interactions over large-scale advertising.
