Campaign Staff: Hong Paid Off $30K in Credit Card Debt with 'Personal Funds'
Court records show Capital One seeks nearly $30,000 from Wisconsin governor candidate Francesca Hong over credit-card debt.
- On May 26, Capital One filed a lawsuit in Dane County Circuit Court against Wisconsin Democrat Francesca Hong, seeking repayment of nearly $30,000 in credit card debt.
- Campaign Manager Becky Cooper attributed the debt to business expenses that rose during the pandemic, noting that Hong, like 80% of Americans, carries similar financial obligations.
- Cooper said, "We will have a letter shortly confirming this debt is paid in full," and clarified that campaign funds were "absolutely not" used for payment.
- Recent polls show Hong leading a crowded Democratic primary field, including a March Marquette Law School survey where she polled ahead of former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes.
- An August 11 primary will determine the Democratic nominee, who will face Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany in the November 3 general election.
