WI-AG: Kaul says he's seeking reelection as AG to continue legal fights against Trump administration
Josh Kaul said he decided to seek reelection as attorney general to continue his efforts to fight the Trump administration in the courts.
In a phone interview with WisPolitics, Kaul said personal reasons also factored into his decision to pass on a run for governor next year.
“I think this is a pivotal time for the nation,” Kaul said. “Some of our most basic rights are under threat. I think it’s really critical that we have an AG that will protect our freedoms and the rule of law.”
Many viewed Kaul as a likely Dem frontrunner if he got into the race to succeed Tony Evers, thanks in part to winning statewide elections as AG in 2018 and 2022. He also reported $470,972 in the bank at the end of June, more than double the cash on hand of any other Dem who’s looked at the race.
