Democratic Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has quietly launched his reelection bid, holding a small invite-only event at a Madison park and announcing his plans to seek a second term on Twitter.
Kaul has been raising money and hiring campaign staff, so the official announcement Saturday night wasn’t a surprise.
Today, I announced that I’m running for re-election as Wisconsin Attorney General!

“I’m proud of my record of protecting public safety, public health, the environment, and our rights,” Kaul tweeted. “And we need to continue to have an AG who will fight for all Wisconsinites, rather than one who caters to special interests.”
Two Republicans, University of Wisconsin-Madison law Professor Ryan Owens and Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney, are also running. Owens and Toney will face each other in an August 2022 primary.
Kaul was first elected in 2018.
