Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez, a Democrat running for governor, terminated her campaign manager over “serious mismanagement and inaccuracies,” according to a statement released Sunday.

The lieutenant governor said during a press conference Monday that she initially became concerned when she noticed that TV ads for her campaign, which were supposed to start airing last Tuesday, were not running.

“I was given excuses from my campaign manager that did not make sense,” Rodriguez said when addressing her decision to confront the manager over an unpaid media invoice and the ads.
