A Wisconsin Attorney General hopeful is in La Crosse as a part of his ‘Justice Tour.’

A.G. democratic candidate Josh Kaul met with a former La Crosse County Judge and community members at the County’s Courthouse Tuesday afternoon.

Kaul says as A.G. he would expand Wisconsin’s response to the opioid crisis. The former federal prosecutor would also work to improve the state’s crime lab testing and expand on community policing.

“We have an Attorney General who’s suggested that we consider arming teachers, which is an alarming idea when we should be working to make our schools safer with some common sense gun safety measures like universal background checks. We haven’t addressed our prosecutor shortage in Wisconsin under Brad Schimel, and the opioid epidemic continues to get worse,” said Kaul.

Kaul will challenge incumbent Republican A.G. Brad Schimel on November 6.
