Today District Attorney Eric J. Toney announced that a bipartisan review concluded no charges will be issued against Mayor Eric Genrich or Doug Diny based on an inability to prove any violations beyond a reasonable doubt. The reviewers included former Democrat Door County District Attorney Joan Korb and Republican District Attorney Eric Toney, with assistance from ADA Kennedy Cutts related to the review of Mayor Diny.
District Attorney Toney Stated “Like many Wisconsinites, I exercised my right to vote in the April 7, 2026 Spring election. I did so on Friday April 3, using an “absentee ballot drop box” at the Town of Fond du Lac Town Hall. This announcement occurred after the April 7, 2026 elections to avoid any possible influence on local races in Brown County and Marathon County.”
District Attorney Toney continued “I also understand these investigations have generated public attention, in part, based on the scrutiny elections and election officials have been under in recent years. I greatly appreciate the work by our amazing election officials across Wisconsin. Their work is the bedrock of our democratic republic. It helps protect our elections and instills greater confidence in election results. There are some that wanted charges issued based on politics and others that did not want charges issued based on politics. However, the facts are the facts and the law is the law, no matter how badly someone may wish for a result, our duty is to follow the facts, and the law, not politics or emotions. Partisan politics has no place in the justice system, and we will not in engage in lawfare.“
