“In late March, several thousand angry demonstrators gathered at a park in Milwaukee for a ‘No Kings’ protest to denounce President Trump’s administration. For the crowded field of Democrats running for governor of Wisconsin, the event was the perfect chance to engage fired-up primary voters,” the New York Times reports.
“Only one campaign appeared to show up in significant numbers: Francesca Hong’s.”
“In weather so chilly that attendees could see their own breath, a small army of volunteers wearing Hong T-shirts set up a tent and fanned out in the crowd. Clipboards in hand, they gathered support along with the lifeblood of organizing: cellphone numbers and email addresses, to be used later to recruit volunteers and turn out voters.”
