Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has announced he will not enter the 2026 race for governor.
He will instead choose to pursue a third term as the state’s top law enforcement official.
Kaul cited ongoing threats to civil liberties and state programs as reasons for staying in his current role.
He was considered a leading contender for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.
This decision reshapes the race, leaving the field wide open for other Democratic hopefuls.
