Before Kristina Wong was an elected official, she was a scrappy performance artist with a bright future. Now she's the system she used to ridicule. Is she more effective as a performance artist or a politician? Is there a difference? Kristina Wong for Public Office is a 75 minute comedic performance that crosses the aesthetics of campaign rallies, church revivals, and solo theater shows to tell the story of what it means to run for local office, the history of voting, and the impact artists can have on democracy.
