MADISON — Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez has been sworn in as the 46th lieutenant governor of the state of Wisconsin. She graduated from Brookfield East High School in the Milwaukee-Waukesha area and earned a Bachelor of Science in nursing from Johns Hopkins University, a Bachelor of Arts in neuroscience from Illinois Wesleyan University, and a master’s degree in community health nursing from Johns Hopkins University. Rodriguez’s career experience includes working as the vice president of clinical services with Honeywell Life Care Solutions, the vice president of population health services and integrated care management with Advocate Aurora Health and the principal and founder of Lamplight Healthcare Consulting.
Rodriguez delivered her inaugural address last week, saying, “Over the last year, I had the pleasure of traveling all over our great state to meet folks and families in their homes and businesses to hear about their lives and their challenges. The lesson I learned from my conversations with Wisconsinites who I met out on the road won't surprise you: we aren't all that different. There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution to our challenges. It's going to take all of us working together, bringing our ideas to the table, and connecting the dots to build the sort of future we want for our state.”
Rodriguez defeated Republican Roger Roth in the November general election.
