Bronson La Follette

Bronson Cutting La Follette (born February 2, 1936) was Attorney General of the state of Wisconsin. La Follette was a candidate for governor of Wisconsin in 1968 as a Democrat.

Born in Washington, D.C., he was the son of United States Senator Robert M. La Follette, Jr. and Rachel Wilson Young, and grandson of United States Senator Robert M. La Follette, Sr. of Wisconsin. He was named in memory of Sen. Bronson Cutting of New Mexico, a friend of Sen. La Follette who died in an airplane crash.

La Follette received a bachelor of arts degree in political science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1958 and a law degree in 1960. He was elected attorney general for two two-year terms from 1965 to 1969 and three four-year terms from 1975 to 1987. He challenged incumbent Republican Governor Warren P. Knowles 1968 and lost. In 1975 he was again elected Attorney general. After his defeat for re-election in 1986 he retired from public life and now lives in Madison.
