Overview
- Rodriguez removed campaign manager Kara Spencer after an internal review found inaccurate and incomplete campaign finance reports, the campaign said.
- Campaign officials told reporters they will contact the Wisconsin Ethics Commission to amend filings and bring records into compliance.
- The campaign has not detailed what the reporting errors were, whether any money is missing, or when the inaccuracies occurred.
- The leadership change creates political risk for Rodriguez less than a month before the Democratic primary and ahead of the November matchup with Republican Tom Tiffany.
- Contacting the Ethics Commission is the routine step for fixes but could lead to audits, fines, or further review, which the campaign says it aims to avoid by correcting filings quickly.
