A group of Republican Wisconsin lawmakers is turning up the heat on Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, whose lenient bail policies—they say—put a career criminal back on the street, allowing him to allegedly plow his vehicle into the Waukesha Christmas Parade, on Nov. 21, killing six people and injuring 61.

Sixteen lawmakers who represent Waukesha County in the Wisconsin Legislature—including Senate President Chris Kapenga—sent a letter to Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, asking him to remove Chisholm from office.
