Republicans are spending money on attacking Francesca Hong.

Meanwhile- Sara Rodriguez seems to have shot herself in the foot by hiring a poor campaign manager: https://www.wpr.org/news/sara-rodriguez-wisconsin-democratic-primary-governors-money-controversy

I'm leaning Barnes.

1. Sara Rodriguez just announced that she is dropping out of the race.

2. I already submitted my absentee ballot.

I voted for Rodriguez before her campaign manager sabotaged her candidacy.

My main concern is electability in the general election. Based on that, my second choice is Joel Brennen. I live in a very red part of one of the reddest counties in the state. From this vantage point, I see just how racist and misogynistic Wisconsin truly is and how tough it will be to overcome that.

3. I am in a red county as well. I think I will support Roys I like her experience.

[Dr. T]

4. Roys has an impeccable progressive track record.

She stands for everything I look for in a politician. She would easily be my first choice under normal circumstances.

Brennen was in the Evers administration and has Tom Barrett's endorsement. He was president and CEO of Discovery World, a science and technology museum. Normally, I have a healthy distrust of any CEO but these are not normal times.

From an electability perspective, my money is on Brennen.

I just learned that Wisconsin no longer allows you to cancel your absentee ballot and get a new one, so my Rodriguez vote is locked in. Let that be a lesson. Don't complete or send in your ballot until a week before the election.
