In my neighborhood I’ve only seen Hong signs. Here’s mine and another a block away. There is another about 5 blocks away. Not seeing any for the other six candidates yet. (Granted, I’ve not been out much in the past two weeks.)

Today's bike ride to work sucked. Wearing a respirator for 30 minutes isn't very comfortable. I had to adjust it a few times and it was much worse breathing in the wildfire smoke so respirator it is.
I can only assume our climate will get worse as time goes on so I figured I might want to get used to this.

is at the #Wisconsin state fair.

Wow, a friend of mine here in Wisconsin got this in the mail... 1/2
"A fake 'newspaper' called The Wisconsin Transcript.
It’s 12 pages of fear-mongering. Fear of foreigners and immigrants, fear of “Socialists”, fear of Medicare fraud, fear of Democrat “extremism”.
Nowhere was there information on who the publisher was, or who paid for it."

I saw a bunch more Hong signs today. Two Kelda Roys signs (never seen any before) and still have not seen a Rodriguez sign.

I was not expecting Crowley to be that close to Hong. 61% reporting still, though, I guess.

Report from Valders, a village in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, population 950: Two Hong signs spotted.
Not a lot but hey, it's a small-town in a red/rural part of the state.

Wisconsin Gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong (who ran a small business) had racked up credit card debt and the media is trying to turn it into this huge story but nearly every comment calls her “relatable”, points out she’s not some wealthy person running for office, and says “Yeah, a working class person is in debt. She’s one of us.”
(Not linking to any specific story but it’s all over the news cycle right now.)

Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong supports “Right to Repair”.
It wasn’t a bunch of hackers that talked to her about it. It was a farmer. Whether you’re a hacker, farmer, or just a consumer, we all suffer when companies make it difficult (or illegal) to repair the things we’ve purchased and own.

Remember, tomorrow is Election day, #Wisconsin.

Interesting look at who pays what amount of taxes.

Data Wonk: Who Pays Wisconsin’s Taxes?
Which income groups pay the most in state and local taxes? And how Wisconsin compares to other states.

Me, a Hong supporter: “If Hong doesn’t win I will support whoever the Democratic primary winner is in the general election.”
Anti-Hong Democrat: “If Hong wins I’m not going to vote in the general election.”
Thanks, Asshole. What happened to your “vote blue no matter who” motto from past elections?

This image gives me anxiety. #Wisconsin

There's more chaos in the Wisconsin Gubernatorial Primary!

Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez Ends Campaign For Governor
From establishment front-runner to out of the race in a week.

This is a unique opportunity for #Wisconsin and I look forward to Governor Hong.
“Francesca Hong enters the final days of the Democratic primary for governor in the pole position after making it through a statewide debate unscathed and the release of new polling that solidifies her position as the field's frontrunner.”

A $2.33/hr tipped minimum wage is pretty ridiculous.
"In addition to raising Wisconsin’s minimum hourly wage, the report also argues in favor of eliminating Wisconsin’s separate minimum wage for tipped workers. In Wisconsin, businesses have to pay tipped workers at least $2.33 an hour. However, if an employee doesn’t make at least $7.25 an hour from wages and tips combined, the employer is required to make up the difference."

After reading ...
"Chancellor Katherine Frank says the name change was long overdue. She adds the ABCs of Polytechnic are applied learning, business and industry partnership and career-focused."
... I am still not completely sure what the difference is between a university and a polytechnic university.
In a world were high schoolers aren't sure if college is right for them, I dig experimentation, though.

You have one week left until election day, #Wisconsin.

That's cool.
"A bipartisan committee of Wisconsin legislators has signed off on a $250,000 funding deal for WisconsinEye, the livestream service that covers the state Legislature.
The Joint Committee on Legislative Organization approved the funds, to be paid out $50,000 per month starting Aug. 1, on a 9-1 vote, the nonpartisan Legislative Council announced Tuesday."

I was not expecting that. I hope you haven't voted, yet.
"Former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes announced Thursday that he is dropping out of the Democratic race for governor in Wisconsin less than two weeks out from the primary."
