State Sen. Kelda Roys, D-Madison, may have the teachers union but State Rep. Francesca Hong, D-Madison, has Ilhan Omar, S-Quality Learing Center.
Honored to receive the endorsement of @ilhanmn — one of the bravest voices in politics and an unwavering champion for working people. The movement to create permanent affordability is growing, and national progressives are taking notice. The Midwest is leading the way. pic.twitter.com/BeQ2vjhHIu— Francesca Hong For Governor (@FrancescaHongWI) April 21, 2026
A fellow socialist! The last Marquette Law School poll had Hong leading the field of nine candidates vying for the Democratic party’s nomination for governor — but only with 14%. Sen. Roys was tracking at only 1 percent. Got to think WEAC’s endorsement will boost her numbers (maybe even double them); questionable whether Ilhan Omar can do the same for Hong. Seems like the socialist thing is kind of baked in to Hong’s 14%.

Blaska’s Bottom Line: Ilhan Omar brings her own baggage to Hong’s train — not that the socialists care but how does Hong grow her tent with one of the most radical figures in D.C. using up the oxygen? Omar has got to be a drag on the Democrat(ic) brand as a whole. The last thing candidates like Roys, Joel Brennan, David Crowley, and Missy Hughes would want, it would seem.
No need for A-I; Tom Tiffany’s attack ads can write themselves.
“Omar amends disclosure blaming initial $30 million filing error on accountant’s mistake.” Imagine the squeals of outrage from progressives if Trump (or any Republican, for that matter) had issued this statement. But because it came from a Democrat and a woman of color (pause here to genuflect), we’re expected to accept it without question–and don’t look for any hard-hitting investigation from NPR/PBS. I plan to vote for Hong in the next primary and humbly beg other readers of this illustrious bloggue to do the same. Never hurts to help Madison/Dane County progressives shoot themselves in the foot.
Dozy Don endorsed Tom. Kiss of death. THE Gop should just save their money and time on this one. Hong is winner five minutes after the polls close. Go online and place a bet then take the money and buy a tank of gas.
