The Recombobulation Area is a 19-time 21-TIME! Milwaukee Press Club award-winning opinion column and online publication founded by Milwaukee journalist Dan Shafer.
The Wisconsin Politics Group Chat of Dr. Kristin Lyerly, Patrick Kreitlow and Dan Shafer (we missed Kate Duffy this time!) got together once again to talk about all the latest happenings in Wisconsin politics, diving deep into the emerging scandal for a candidate that seemed ascendant just a few days ago.
Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez fired her campaign manager over mismanagement and inaccuracies in campaign filings on Sunday, faced the press at a news conference in Madison on Monday, and now, folks are left wondering if her campaign can continue.
We talked about all of that and more.
