MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Democratic candidate for Governor Francesca Hong is sued over nearly $30,000 in credit card debt.
As first reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, court filings show Capital One sued Hong in May, seeking a little more than $29,000 in unpaid credit card charges dating back to 2011. A campaign spokeswoman says that debt has now been fully repaid.
Hong, a state Representative and former Madison restaurant owner, is one of several Democrats in the race for governor. The August primary will determine who advances to the November 3rd general election, where Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany is the only major Republican candidate.
