PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – After Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum announced she will not seek reelection in 2024, KOIN 6 News reached out to all of the candidates for attorney general and asked them the following questions:
- Why are you running for Attorney General?
- What is your previous government/civic experience?
- If elected, what would be your top priorities as attorney general?
- What is going right in the Attorney General’s office? How would you build on it?
- Following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade in 2022, the Oregon Department of Justice launched the Oregon Reproductive Rights Hotline and Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum led a multistate lawsuit with Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson – securing an injunction to preserve access to the abortion medication mifepristone. If elected, how will your office work on these issues?"
- In 2023, the Oregon DOJ convened a group of law enforcement members, health care providers, and lawmakers to discuss ways to address the state’s fentanyl crisis. If elected, how will you address the fentanyl/substance abuse crises?
Some candidates did not respond to KOIN’s request. Below are links to the responses from candidates who chose to answer the questions. This story will be updated if we receive more.
Oregon's primary election is May 21, followed by the general election Nov. 5.
