U.S. Congressman Glenn Grothman is endorsing Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney for state Attorney General, touting his criminal prosecution experience.
Toney, a Republican, is running against former legislator Adam Jarchow and attorney Karen Mueller for a chance to take on Democrat Josh Kaul. He is the only candidate with prosecution experience in the primary race.
Glenn Grothman Endorsement Statement
“I’ve known Eric Toney since he became District Attorney in 2013. With my office right in Fond du Lac, it gives me a continued opportunity to discuss criminal law issues with him on a regular basis,” Glenn Grothman said in a statement.
“He has handled hundreds of criminal cases including some of the most heinous in Fond du Lac. The incumbent Attorney General appears incredibly concerned with keeping the prison population down – in the midst of spiraling murder rates and record drug overdose deaths. Eric views putting drug dealers and murderers in prison as a good thing, and I looking forward to voting for him. Additionally, all ten sheriffs in my district will be voting for Eric as well.”
