RandySF is spot on. Hong is a non-starter. I learned that Missy Hughs has already dropped out. Crowly is a career Milwaukee politician but no one outside Milwaukee knows him. Rodriguez is a registered nurse with Peace Corps experience, is the current Lieutenant Governor, and has business leadership experience. Brennen has Tom Berrett connections (a good thing), a Masters in public policy, and is a fierce progressive negotiator in the Wisconsin senate. Roys has a stellar liberal/progressive track record, but in the past, she's been a little too liberal to win in a general election (Repugs would do to her what they did to Kamala). Barns is a solid progressive career politician with a lousy election track record although he nearly beat Ron Johnson when that seat was up for grabs.

We can't afford to screw this up. I'm going with electabilty above all else.
