Chad Holmes Show: Monday, Jan. 26 (Rep. Francesca Hong Interview)

It's another cold Monday and we start by discussing the news of the weekend, which was the killing of a VA nurse by ICE agents in Minneapolis. Immediately following the tragedy, members of the federal government attempted to pass along false information that was contradicted by the video of the incident. They lied. In the third and fourth segments of the first hour we are joined by state Representative Francesca Hong, who is running for the Democratic nomination for Governor in 2026. We discuss how she would deal with a federal government that uses threats against states to get their way, her plans for rural areas on Wisconsin, education, health care, her budget priorities and more. The Chad Holmes Show is part of Civic Media and can be heard from 8 to 9 am weekdays on 98.9 WXCO, wxco.fm, mobile devices by searching WXCO and on the Civic Media app. The 9 am to 10 am hour can be heard on the 98.9 WXCO YouTube channel and on the "Sports 2 Stream" of wxco.fm and Civic Media app. Guest: Francesca Hong
