Wisconsin state representative Francesca Hong, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, is leading the Democratic field in the state’s gubernatorial primary, according to a new Marquette Law School poll. Her position is significant because Wisconsin is a closely contested political battleground, although the article says she trails the likely Republican nominee in a general-election matchup.

Hong received 26% support among voters likely to participate in Wisconsin’s 11 August Democratic primary. Former lieutenant governor Mandela Barnes, who narrowly lost Wisconsin’s 2022 US Senate race, is also presented as a notable contender, but the supplied article text does not include his polling figure or the full general-election results.
