Eric Toney Launches 2026 Wisconsin AG Campaign
Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney, a Republican who narrowly lost to Democrat Josh Kaul in 2022, officially launched his second campaign for Wisconsin attorney general for the November 2026 election. He said the campaign will “put public safety over politics,” prioritizing fixes to state crime labs, aggressive prosecution of drug crimes — especially the fentanyl flow across the border — and targeting violent crime in Milwaukee while supporting victims and law enforcement statewide. Toney framed the run as a return to “conservative, common-sense leadership,” contrasted his pitch with “seven years of broken promises” under the current attorney general, and cited his record as Fond du Lac DA and former president of the Wisconsin District Attorneys Association. He pointed to achievements including pay raises for prosecutors and public defenders, additional crime-lab positions and more than 50 new prosecutor jobs. Toney said a 2023 open-heart surgery at age 39 gave him clarity to seek higher office, and during the rollout he campaigned in Waukesha and Monroe County, picked up endorsements from local law enforcement and declined to take reporters’ questions.
