MADISON - A political science professor is seeking to challenge Attorney General Josh Kaul in the 2022 election to be Wisconsin s top attorney.
Ryan Owens, 44, who has taught law and political science courses at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the last 10 years, is the second Republican to announce a run against the Democratic incumbent.
Owens, who lives in the Madison suburb of Middleton, enters the race as an atypical attorney general candidate one who has not worked as a prosecutor. He said his background as an attorney and professor doesn t put him at a disadvantage. It s not about how many people you ve prosecuted, it s about what you re going to do to protect the state of Wisconsin, Owens said.
