APNewsBreak: ‘Sexting’ DA rejects calls to resign
MADISON, Wis. — A Wisconsin prosecutor caught sending text messages to a domestic abuse victim is rejecting growing calls to resign and says he’s the victim of a “smear campaign.”
Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz says he only cares about the opinion of local voters, who will get to decide whether he should stay in office.
He says Wisconsin attorneys have done far worse and “haven’t received near the attention or scrutiny that I have.”
Kratz, a Republican, says he intends to run for re-election in November 2012.
He spoke in an interview with The Associated Press on Friday, hours after a state lawmaker called on Gov. Jim Doyle to remove him from office.
