MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez held a Monday press conference after firing the manager of her campaign for governor over the weekend.
Rodriguez said submitted finance statements overstated campaign contributions by “hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
“I understand that there was a press release indicating that we were going to do a $1 million ad buy. That decision was made by my campaign manager, and I cannot get inside her head as to why she made that announcement,” Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez, one of five Democrats running to oppose Congressman Tom Tiffany in November, said she first became aware of the issue last week when that ad buy did not air, and that she’s working with compliance, the Wisconsin Ethics Commission, and an accountant to uncover all of the facts.
