The remaining Democratic candidates for governor enter their final full week of campaigning ahead of the Aug. 11 primary following the abrupt exit from Mandela Barnes and last week’s debate.

Francesca Hong, the Democratic socialist lawmaker from Madison, campaigned alongside U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minnesota, and controversial streamer Hasan Piker over the weekend. She spoke with WISN 12’s “UpFront” and other media in the spin room after last week’s debate.

“It is a power of a movement that we are bringing to the race that on Aug. 12 not only will we be in the strongest position to take on to Tom Tiffany, and he is the weakest Republican candidate that someone could put forth for governor, and I believe that we are going to see unprecedented numbers of turnout,” Hong said.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley will spend the week campaigning alongside Gov. Tony Evers, who endorsed him after reentering the race.

“I think there are a lot of people who are just upset that they weren’t able to get the governor’s endorsement,” Crowley said in the spin room. “I mean, he has people who have worked directly in his cabinet, and he’s watched of all us, and I think that his endorsement of me just shows his trust of my character in my judgement as an executive here.”

Both former DOA Secretary Joel Brennan and state Sen. Kelda Roys, of Madison, entered the final week trailing and polling in the single digits.

“I think the things that differentiate me are the depth of detail and policy knowledge of my proposals,” Roys said in the spin room.

“Lots of people just started paying attention to this race in the last week,” Brennan added. “There have been candidates in and candidates out and people trying to put their thumb on the scale.”

Also on the program, Marquette University Law School poll Director Charles Franklin says 30% of Mandela Barnes’ supporters picked Francesca Hong as their second choice in Marquette’s most recent poll released last week.

“Sixteen percent go to Crowley, 8% to Brennan and 5% to Roys,” Franklin told “UpFront.” “But interestingly, 41% of Barnes’ supporters said they didn’t have a second choice. So that kind of puts those folks up for grabs, I suppose, but at least in the short-term, that 30% of his supporters going to Hong is good for Hong in the moment this poll was taken.”

Franklin said Barnes had held “pretty steady” in the past two to three polls at about 15% or 16%, which bumped up to roughly 21% if you included people who were leaning towards him.

“But by contrast, Hong has been in the 30s or 40s if you include those who lean,” Franklin said. “So Barnes had not been picking up a lot of strength in the last few months, but he hadn’t been losing it either. Still, he was a distant second place, not a near second place.”

Franklin said it was ” a stretch” for Crowley to make a major surge, with the backing of Evers, but that “you never want to say never, especially after the last three weeks in this campaign.”

“If you take Barnes’ people and allocate them to their second-choice choices, that puts Hong at 43%,” Franklin said. “So that’s less than a majority. If the other 57% all went to one candidate, then yes, she could be beaten. But that’s divided among three candidates, plus don’t know and won’t vote. That would be an exceptional coalescence around one candidate.”
