The democratic socialist is the front-runner to win the Democratic primary for governor of Wisconsin on Tuesday. Her platform includes Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and defunding the police. Critics call her too radical for a swing state.

Hong argues her policies reflect the urgency of economic and climate crises. She has drawn support from progressive groups and unions, but faces moderate opponents who question her electability in a general election. The primary results will signal whether Wisconsin Democrats lean left or center ahead of the fall campaign.
