We look forward to seeing Seawright’s story but it is also important that everyone stand up to bullies, and that we do so collectively. If she was pushed out, and the people doing the pushing do not lose political or social capital, then they will do it again, to other good, unique, passionate candidates.

If every Wisconsin donor was a voter in the party primary, Francesca Hong won nearly half (49.5%) of them! She also has Tom Tiffany beat single handedly, and all Democrats combined are whooping the Republicans combined.  

There are a diversity of tactics to opposing ICE. All of the protesting on the ground is important, even when it feels like it isn’t. There is an abundance of shit to stand against in 2026, but we have to keep focused and combine efforts where applicable. “The wrong Amazon is burning. The wrong ICE is melting.”

In the last two elections, voters gave the highest court in the state a mandate to fix Wisconsin’s broken democracy. They are letting us down. Their fear of being accused of politicizing the courts leads the liberal majority to make highly political decisions favoring Republican congresspeople.

Stripping affordability from criticism of capitalism and inequality is how centrists will try and steal fire from left populists, and flatten the clear differences between candidates. In the process, they render political discourse meaningless.

Are you interested in defending the working class against politics as usual? Do you want to combat corporate sleaze and corruption? Running for county board is an achievable and powerful way to do it, but you have to act fast!

We’re listing districts in order of both the utility of moving the seat left, and the viability of a socialist victory. These are admittedly hot takes, and we would love to hear other opinions!

Candidates who authentically stand for policies that clearly benefit voters can generate organic excitement. They inspire people to turn out, to volunteer, and enthusiastically chatter with friends and family. Bold candidates make elections fun, not annoying. An exciting candidate does not need a massive treasury.

We’re betting that Francesca Hong will not only re-invigorate disillusioned Democrats and left activists to whoop her milquetoast rivals in the primary, but will also tap into anti-elite sentiment across the political spectrum to clobber Tiffany in the general. It looks like she’s got a good start on both.
