The most outrageous lies are the ones about Covid 19. Everyone is lying. The CDC, Media, Democrats, our Doctors, not all but most ,that we are told to trust. I think it's all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I'm sick of it.
My name is Sara Rodriguez & I'm running to be your next Representative in the WI Legislature. I wasn't planning on running in this election, then my opponent & Republican legislators forced Wisconsinites to choose between their health & their right to vote
I am honored to be the next Representative of the 13th Assembly District. Thank you for your support, trust, and vote. Let’s make a difference together.
Not only does Tim Michels support Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban—which provides NO exceptions for rape and incest—but he wants to track women who seek necessary healthcare services.
Let’s be clear: This is about controlling our bodies and criminalizing women. We have to stop him.
As a mom, my kids are my priority. I love Wisconsin, and I’m going to work hard to make sure that all of our kids have a promising and bright future here in Wisconsin. As
@Tony4WI
always says – What’s best for our kids is best for our state.
Tony has vetoed 9 anti-choice bills in his first term. He’s here to protect our right to choose and respect personal reproductive healthcare decisions.
Tim Michels is a danger to our communities. He doesn’t support red flag laws or universal background checks.
These are simple public safety solutions that can and will keep folks safe.
If Tim Michels wins this election, he plans to:
Criminalize abortion
Restrict voting rights
Defund our public schools
We have the power to stop him, Wisconsin—but only if we vote. Make a plan at .
The people of Wisconsin spoke loud and clear. They want a Supreme Court that stands for fairness and the fundamental rights of every Wisconsinite.

The GOP wants my tax info but they don’t want Trump’s?
It’s because they’re afraid of our campaign & will do whatever they can to cover for him.

Tim Michels has made it clear he won’t do a thing to ensure every child in Wisconsin has access to a quality education—going so far as to call investing in public education ‘insanity.’
I am a nurse, mom, and the only pro-choice woman running to be Wisconsin’s next Lieutenant Governor. I will never stop fighting for reproductive freedom and access to health care including abortion services and birth control.
This morning I had a great breakfast with
@sara4WI
, our nominee for lieutenant governor. We discussed how we’re going to work together to do the right thing for our state. We’re ready to get to work!
We may have all gone to the polls for different reasons, but today, we all came out because we love this state, and we want to keep moving Wisconsin forward.
Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban was enacted before women even had the right to vote.
This cruel law isn’t just archaic—it’s downright dangerous. Restricting women from making their own reproductive healthcare decisions will put Wisconsinites at risk.
As a nurse, I know that banning abortion puts women’s lives at risk
As a mom, I am outraged to see my daughter have fewer rights than I’ve had.
As your Lieutenant Governor alongside
@Tony4WI
, I will do everything in my power to defend access to reproductive health care.
As a nurse, I’ve spent my entire career helping people and that’s exactly why I’m running to be Wisconsin’s next Lieutenant Governor.
I’m in this fight because I believe in doing the right thing for Wisconsin—and you can bet I’m not backing down.
Friday’s debate made it clear: Wisconsin has a choice to make on November 8th. Turn back the clock with GOP extremists like Tim Michels—or move forward together with me and

Let’s do the right thing for Wisconsin.

What better way to celebrate a great debate night than a catch up over coffee the next day. So proud of

Radical Tim Michels doesn’t speak for the majority of Wisconsinites when it comes to abortion rights.
I won’t let him permanently strip folks of their reproductive freedom. We ARE going to win this fall.

"I've got your number. I'll give you a shout back,"
@StateRepHutton
told me Monday when I asked his views on the mask mandate.
He never called back and didn't respond to follow-up messages.
Tim Michels doesn’t care about working families. His plans for tax cuts will only benefit him and his rich friends, extremist allies, and wealthy donors.
To those who seek to restrict access to essential care, our message is simple: we respect 👏 reproductive rights 👏 in Wisconsin👏.
@GovEvers
and I will keep fighting like hell to protect reproductive freedom for every person.
Wisconsinites have been clear: we must restore

and repeal Wisconsin’s 1849-era criminal abortion ban. Those are the freedoms Wisconsinites want, and those are the freedoms Wisconsinites deserve.

Governor Tony Evers needs a partner, and I’m ready to step up to the plate.
I’m State Rep. Sara Rodriguez, and I’m one of very few Democrats in the country who flipped a Republican seat in 2020. Today I’m announcing I’m a candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin in 2022.
Tim Michels’ support for abortion bans goes back almost 20 years. He has a record of donating to radical organizations that oppose abortion in all cases and has said he will not soften his anti-abortion views.
You can’t trust Tim Michels.
I have dedicated my career to solving problems. As a mom, small business owner, policymaker, and nurse, I will put the health, well-being, and dignity of every Wisconsinite at the center of decision-making as your next Lieutenant Governor.

@Tony4WI
and I believe in science. I’m in this race to ensure that my kids and future generations are able to breathe clean air and drink clean water.
We’re doing the right thing to protect Wisconsin’s environment for future generations.
Generations of women before me dedicated their lives to the fight for reproductive freedom. I’ll keep fighting so that my daughter doesn’t have to.
We’re not going back.
I’m running to do the right thing for Wisconsinites. I’m going to bring my experience as a state representative, nurse, public health professional, small business owner, AND working mom to the Lieutenant Governor's role. I’m ready.
If we don't win this election, every dangerous anti-abortion bill that
@Tony4WI
has vetoed will come back and become law in Wisconsin.
Make a plan to vote.
Many have been asking, so here it is.
The definition of reproductive freedom: the right to make the personal decision for oneself regarding their reproductive health. The right to bodily autonomy is a human right.
TLDR: Mind your own damn business.
In the coming days, we will remember President Carter for his many public roles and accomplishments. For me, he will always be a public health hero.
He was a champion of national health care, mental health, and environmental equity. He understood that our nation’s health is a
ONE MONTH until folks across the state head to the polls to determine the future of Wisconsin. On November 8th, we get to decide what kind of state we want to be and which direction we will go—forward or backward.
Wisconsin’s budget should reflect our values.

plan includes things we can all agree will help kids thrive:
📚Historic investment in public education
🍎 Universal school breakfast & lunch
🏫 Increased funding for mental health & school safety
Let’s get this done!
It’s Women’s Equality Day. We can’t celebrate today without acknowledging the fact that women have been stripped of their reproductive freedom.
I’m still angry. I haven’t forgotten. And I’m going to keep fighting for you.
I first decided to run for office when I saw leaders putting politics before people.
As your next Lieutenant Governor, I will ALWAYS put Wisconsinites first.

There’s a critical choice in this election between progress or a dark future for Wisconsin.

and I are on the side of progress.
We’re ready to keep fighting for abortion rights, our democracy, our kids, and a better future for our state—because those fights are worth it.
Every. Single. One. Voted to keep Wisconsin’s radical abortion ban, enacted before women even had the right to vote.
Wisconsin Republicans have once again made it clear that they don’t respect women and don’t represent the will of the people.
With two kids in our public schools, I know how important education funding is for our kids. I’m going to work with Governor Evers to make sure that our schools have the resources they need for our kids and teachers.

Every Wisconsinite deserves to live boldly in their truth—without fear of persecution, judgment, or discrimination.
That’s the Wisconsin I want my kids to grow up in, and it’s the one I’ll keep fighting for.

Wisconsin’s 1849 criminal abortion ban is far too extreme and WRONG for our state. Lives are at risk because reproductive healthcare rights have been stripped away. We need to do everything in our power to restore those rights and freedoms.
