MADISON, WI – Today, Lt. Governor and candidate for Governor Sara Rodriguez released the following statement in response to blatantly false and racist rumors circulated to reporters this week regarding her husband, Baltazar Rodriguez:
“My husband is a proud, naturalized U.S. citizen. We are five days into this race and my opponents are already resorting to racist, made-up attacks about my family. It’s pathetic, it’s ugly, and it sure as hell won’t lower a single grocery bill or fix a single school. If this is their best shot, they better pack a damn lunch.”
Baltazar Rodriguez is a first-generation immigrant from Mexico who became a naturalized U.S. citizen after coming to this country to build a better life. He and Sara met salsa dancing and have been married for over 20 years, raising their family in Wisconsin.
