MILWAUKEE, WI — In the wake of significant campaign mismanagement and inaccurate financial reports, Sara Rodriguez must answer the following questions and be transparent with Wisconsinites.

1. When were you first aware of the malfeasance and misreporting that appears to have taken place for months? Your January report was filed hours after the deadline, amended twice, and already showed duplicate donor listings. Did anyone flag these problems back then, and if so, why did it take six months to act?

2. Who in your organization had a role in approving the use of campaign dollars that could be associated with this, and what checks and balances did you have in place?

3. Your campaign publicly reported a $1 million media buy. Did your campaign not have the funds to pay for that at the time of the announcement? Do you now?

4. What do you say to supporters who you asked to invest in and help your campaign, asking them for resources that have now been squandered? Will you be able to refund donors who ask for their money back?

5. How is this not disqualifying?
