[WISCONSIN] Wisconsin’s Law Enforcement leaders want Our Attorney General, Brad Schimel to remain as the state’s Top Cop. On Friday, 48 Democratic, Republican and Independent Wisconsin District Attorneys announced their endorsements of Schimel’s candidacy.

“It’s not surprising that Brad Schimel has broad, bipartisan support from Wisconsin’s frontline prosecutors; I don’t think we have ever had an Attorney General more prepared for the job,” said Susan Opper, Waukesha County District Attorney. “Brad Schimel ended the state’s sexual assault kit backlog and he is a national leader in the fight against opioid abuse. Brad Schimel is law enforcement’s choice.”

The Democratic and Independent support is especially noteworthy.

“The contrast is clear: Brad Schimel is a proven Wisconsin prosecutor who has successfully worked thousands of sexual assault, homicide, internet predator and elder abuse cases here and helped keep our Wisconsin communities safe while Josh Kaul has spent the bulk of his adult life on the East and West Coasts and has never prosecuted a single criminal in Wisconsin, not one–ever,” said Schimel Campaign Manager Johnny Koremenos. “Madison Activist Josh Kaul’s supporters are partisan donors and out of state special interests, we prefer the team we’re building.”

This tsunami of support from the law enforcement community comes after 64 Sheriffs have already backed Schimel, who served for 25 years as a prosecutor in the Waukesha County DA’s office, including eight years as District Attorney before being elected Attorney General in 2014. That includes 13 elected Democrat Sheriffs.

On Friday Schimel’s list of District Attorney supporters included 7 Democrats and 2 Independents.

More Democratic Sheriffs and District Attorneys are backing the Republican Schimel than are supporting the Democratic candidate, Madison Activist Josh Kaul.

“No candidate for Wisconsin Attorney General has ever had as much experience or as much statewide, bipartisan support as Brad Schimel,” said Koremenos. “Every day more people understand that Brad Schimel delivers results and improves public safety, which is why he’s building an impressive coalition that crosses party lines, even in these hyper-partisan times.”
