Schimel calls Kaul activist, Dem counters incumbent has misplaced opportunities

GOP AG Brad Schimel sought Friday to portray Dem challenger Josh Kaul as light on experience prosecuting crime, charging he’s an activist who would pick and choose which laws he’d defend if elected to lead the Department of Justice.
