MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul is wading into the state Supreme Court race by renewing an old feud with conservative candidate Brad Schimel.
Kaul on Monday mentioned delays in testing sexual assault evidence kits when Schimel was attorney general. Kaul ousted Schimel from that post in the 2018 elections. Kaul relentlessly criticized Schimel during the campaign for taking over two years to test about 4,000 kits.
Kaul on Monday accused Schimel of not paying attention to the project and declaring it completed prematurely while leaving hundreds of kits for his administration to finish testing. The Schimel campaign said that he voluntarily took the initiative in leading the response to the untested kits.
