Meet the 37-year-old single mother and former line cook rattling Democratic moderates in Wisconsin

Francesca Hong, a 37-year-old democratic socialist and former line cook, is shaking up the Democratic race for governor in Wisconsin. Known for her edgy social media presence and willingness to speak her mind, Hong has gained the support of liberal Democrats with her calls for free childcare, healthcare, and a moratorium on data center construction.

Despite some controversies surrounding her past statements, Hong's message of affordability has resonated with young voters and those dissatisfied with the party establishment. Democratic Party leaders have endorsed Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley as the best candidate to defeat incumbent Republican Governor Scott Walker in the November election.

Hong's candidacy has sparked debate within the party about electability, but her supporters remain confident in her ability to win.
