Francesca Hong Surges in Democratic Primary | Honolulu News

Published 2 weeks ago
Description

Francesca Hong is surging as the Democratic frontrunner for governor, riding a wave of youth support and socialist messaging after Mandela Barnes dropped out. With 66% of 18-29 voters backing her, experts say she’s poised to win the August 11 primary — and the party’s liberal base is rallying behind her. While David Crowley’s campaign still has a slim shot, Kelda Roys and Joel Brennan face steep odds. A potential twist? Ads attacking Hong’s ideology could backfire in November when she faces Republican Tom Tiffany — but for now, the race is hers to lose.
