Josh Kaul declares victory over Brad Schimel in Attorney General race

DANE COUNTY (CBS 58) – Democrat Josh Kaul declared his victory in the Attorney General race Wednesday morning outside of the Dane County Courthouse.

Kaul faced incumbent Brad Schimel.

Schimel released the following statement:

“I just got off the phone with Josh Kaul. While the results are not final, it appears he has won this race. I told him I am waiting until the municipal and county canvasses are complete, all military ballots are accounted for and that every vote is counted. We also want to know more about what happened with the absentee ballots in Milwaukee County. However, if the margin does not substantially change, I have vowed that my team will assist him in making the transition as smooth as possible. I want to thank nearly 1.3 Million Wisconsinites for their votes, their prayers and support. We will all know more in about a week.”
