Representative Francesca Hong
Francesca Hong (born November 4, 1988) is an American chef, community organizer, and politician from the U.S. state of Wisconsin. A Democrat, she represents the 76th district of the Wisconsin State Assembly, which is based in the Madison Isthmus. Elected in November 2020, she holds the distinction of being the first Asian American member of the Wisconsin Legislature.
Early Life and Career: Francesca was born in Madison, Wisconsin, to Korean American immigrant parents who moved to the country in the 1980s for her father’s graduate degree. After attending the University of Wisconsin–Madison, she pursued a career as a chef.

Francesca is also a founder of the Culinary Ladies Collective.
Political Career: In 2020, Francesca announced her campaign for the 76th district of the Wisconsin State Assembly after incumbent Chris Taylor resigned her seat due to a judicial appointment. Francesca won a seven-way Democratic primary and went on to win the general election. Her focus during the campaign was on the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the need for structural reform in the economy and government.
Tenure: As a legislator, Francesca Hong is a supporter of environmental rights. She participated in a “dunk tank” fundraiser in Madison to raise awareness about clean water. After the 2022 election, she was appointed to the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation board of directors.
