Eric Toney

Wisconsin Attorney General candidate Eric Toney repeatedly pledged to “enforce” and “defend” Wisconsin’s 1849 near-total abortion ban after Roe v. Wade was overturned, even suggesting abortion providers could face prosecution. He embraced endorsements from anti-abortion organizations that praised his “core values” and opposition to abortion rights. Eric Toney also said marriage between “one man and one woman” was “the foundation of civilization” and embraced support from Wisconsin Family Action, a group that opposed same-sex marriage and LGBTQ+ rights. Eric Toney opposed stronger environmental protections and refused to say whether he would continue Wisconsin’s PFAS lawsuit while communities across the state faced contamination concerns, drinking water risks, and ongoing cleanup efforts. In 2022, Eric Toney promoted himself as “one of the most aggressive prosecutors of election fraud” in Wisconsin while pursuing felony voter fraud charges experts warned could discourage voting, even as voter fraud remained extremely rare statewide. Toney also opposed red flag laws designed to temporarily restrict firearm access for dangerous individuals. Instead, Toney argued Wisconsin’s existing mental health commitment process provided sufficient due process protections, despite gun violence prevention advocates arguing the system was more complex and less effective for preventing suicides and protecting people in crisis.
