DAGA Statement on Wisconsin AG Primary Results
August 12, 2026
AG Josh Kaul to run against failed AG candidate Eric Toney
WASHINGTON, DC – The Wisconsin AG race is set between far-right GOP nominee Eric Toney and AG Josh Kaul. Toney, who lost to AG Kaul in 2022, is an anti-abortion extremist with a history of botched cases. Instead of focusing on keeping Wisconsinites safe, he has prioritized advancing his own extreme political agenda.
Statement from Lottie Ash, DAGA Political Director:
“Eric Toney is a threat to Wisconsin families, failing to keep his own county safe. From making plea deals with dangerous criminals to letting child murderers and sex abusers get off easy, Wisconsin can’t trust Eric Toney to do the job. Toney’s also said he would enforce the state’s archaic abortion ban and prosecute doctors for simply doing their job. Meanwhile, AG Josh Kaul has been keeping Wisconsin safe – from tackling the opioid crisis, to working to safeguard communities from gun violence, and closing the sexual assault kit backlog. Kaul has protected and defended his constituents from dangerous federal overreach. AG Kaul is leader Wisconsin needs, and we look forward to helping him win come November.”
