In the last democratic president of the President, Hong, he led the Wisconsin “Uninstructed” movement, which voted more than 48,000 protests – 8.3% of all – against former President Joe Biden Israel’s policy, demanding Gaza’s ceasefire. Her activism reflects the emerging national progressive figures such as rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Dn.y.), New York City Candidate Zohran Mamdani and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, when she has influenced the organization of society. At the legislator, she wrote a bilateral education reform required to teach Asian American and Hmong America’s history of Wisconsin, which was signed last year.
What does she seek to accomplish: The Hong Campaign platform prefers global childcare, family leave, public school investment and Badgercare development, rejecting PAC funding for companies. On social issues, she holds uncompromising positions, promising to protect reproductive rights, while promising to fight what she describes “fascism in Washington and at home”. According to economic policy, its detailed proposals include the North Dakota -style public banking system to provide accessible small business loans, along with subsidies to reduce the burden of health care to entrepreneurs and employees.
