Wisconsin Attorney General Debate

Published | Video Starts at 47:11

To know that we are not driven by numbers. We're driven by the safety of the victim to make sure we get an outcome that protects them. When I took office, we were not in compliance with the state statute to prosecute those cases. Within two weeks, we put ourselves in compliance and directed one full attorney onto those positions.

(47:11–47:22)
