Summary
Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez has dropped out of the Wisconsin governor’s race, citing a financial meltdown that left her campaign nearly broke and forced her to fire her campaign manager. With just $35,000 in the bank and $152,000 in unpaid bills, she said the chaos would distract from the critical race—and that Wisconsin deserves a cleaner, more transparent election. Her exit leaves four Democrats still in the running: Mandela Barnes, Joel Brennan, Francesca Hong, and Kelda Roys.
