Hong sounds like she is too in the open to win statewide. Much smarter to put on a mild, Wisconsin-friendly demeanor, and not put your hard left stances front and center. Tammy Baldwin has done that effectively, unfortunately.
“Tammy Baldwin has done that effectively, unfortunately.”
Here in Minnesota, Amy Klobuchar has done the same thing. She has a well-recognized name from her father, a journalist. But she has cultivated this “I’m a moderate every day mom who cares about everyone’s well being”.
So many people have no idea just how incredibly liberal she is - even by Minnesota standards.
Unfortunately the RPW in Wisconsin is run by establishment never Trump types specifically the incredibly inept, useless, incompetent Brian Schimming.
Shimming has a 15% success rate in statewide elections since 2021.
He has gone out of his way to antagonize grass roots and county organization
Under Shimming reign of error, minimal development of GOTV vs. WIDEMS Dane County machine
As for fundraising- he is outraised 6:1 by WISDEMS and always figures out an excuse why this happens.
We do have a great candidate Rep. Tom Tiffany who is running outside the RPW Tiffany is developing a solid ground game and has solid fundraising numbers However, Shimmy’s and RPW incompetence can be a 2-3 point drag
