Summary
Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez has dropped out of the Wisconsin governor’s race, citing a damaging financial scandal that forced her to fire her campaign manager and left her with less than $35,000 in cash and over $150,000 in unpaid bills. Despite recent momentum and endorsements from fellow dropouts, Rodriguez said the financial turmoil would distract from the primary and hurt Wisconsin’s chances — so she chose to step aside to do what’s right. Her exit leaves four Democrats in the race, and one former dropout who backed her is now reportedly eyeing a comeback, potentially reshaping the field.
