Duke Rodriguez

Duke Rodriguez has been involved in several legal and personal controversies. In 2020, a subordinate at his cannabis company, Ultra Health, obtained a protective order against him following a yearslong relationship. During related court proceedings, the woman alleged Rodriguez conditioned her pay and bonuses on sexual favors and harassment. Rodriguez denied these claims and unsuccessfully sought a reciprocal protective order against her. Rodriguez has also faced repeated legal challenges regarding his eligibility for governor, centered on residency requirements and his history of voting in Arizona. While courts have dismissed these challenges and confirmed his ballot status, records indicate he voted in Arizona in 2022 and 2024 and previously listed himself as a Scottsdale resident in legal filings. Additionally, Rodriguez has faced difficulties with being served court papers for multiple unpaid parking tickets in Albuquerque, with some documents returned as vacant or unclaimed.
