Interesting considering when her campaign launch video was dated--
Evers says Rodriguez learned about his decision the same time his cabinet learned "the day of" . On the fact Rodriguez launched her campaign not even 24 hours after: "So the idea there was something already done . you'll have to ask her why that happened"

ICYMI: @GovEvers again raises the alarm on forestry funding cuts, while Insurance, Housing, Rural Issues and Forestry Chair @SenRomaineQuinn equates concerns to "hysteria".

Looks like Tiffany is referencing his past concerns about duplicate ballots that were sent out in Madison to about 2,000 voters last year:
I sounded the alarm on the Madison clerk long before she failed to count nearly 200 ballots—and the media called me a liar. Now WEC admits she broke FIVE laws but doesn’t recommend prosecution. If there’s no accountability for breaking election laws, they’ll keep being broken.
