FOND DU LAC, WI – Republican candidate for Attorney General Eric Toney announced that his campaign raised more than $720,000 in the first six months of the election year, marking the top historical fundraising total for a Republican candidate for attorney general during the reporting period. It is also the most by a non-incumbent for that reporting period. His campaign has raised more than $1.1 million since launching – surpassing the total amount Toney raised over the entirety of his 2022 campaign for attorney general. 
“Wisconsinites are tired of Josh Kaul’s broken promises and are ready for change at the Department of Justice. Voters recognize that a third term for Kaul would be a rubber stamp for the abolish-the-police socialists who are taking over the Democratic Party,” said Eric Toney. “This level of support for a non-incumbent is proof that voters are fed up and want someone who will put public safety over politics. We are building the resources and the momentum to win in November and finally bring common-sense leadership back to the DOJ.”
Toney’s fundraising haul reflects sustained grassroots and law enforcement support for his campaign, including the bipartisan endorsements from over half the sheriffs across Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Police Association, and other law enforcement groups. He is in his 14th year as a District Attorney and is the past president of the Wisconsin District Attorneys Association. He was the 2024 Wisconsin District Attorney of the Year and received an Unsung Hero award from the Wisconsin Law Journal for his bipartisan budget work that delivered significant public safety resources across Wisconsin.
