## Resource

Francesca Hong, Democratic gubernatorial candidate, has cleared her financial slate after settling a $30,000 debt with Capital One — a lawsuit now officially dismissed. The debt stemmed from a restaurant venture she called an “honest financial mistake,” and she’s now fully paid. With this hurdle removed, her campaign can refocus on her run for governor, as opponents lose a key talking point. Hong, currently serving in the state Assembly, is now poised to move forward with renewed momentum. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
