WI-GOV: Missy Hughes says more Dems should drop out of guv primary as she backs Sara Rodriguez
Missy Hughes said today it’s time for Democratic candidates to coalesce around a gubernatorial nominee to beat Tom Tiffany in November.
The former WEDC secretary and CEO said at an afternoon press conference with Lt. Gov Sara Rodriguez that it was “100%” time for other candidates to follow Hughes’ lead and consider dropping out.
Hughes announced earlier today she was suspending her campaign and endorsing Rodriguez.
“True leadership means stepping aside and making sure that we coalesce around someone who can win in November,” Hughes said. “Sara is the best person positioned to beat Tom Tiffany, who is the most radical person in this race, and the person that we need to make sure does not become governor of the state.”
