Statement from Michelle Ortiz, Executive Director of Democratic Attorneys General Association:

“We’re thrilled to endorse Dan Rayfield as Oregon’s next Attorney General. Speaker Rayfield brings years of experience fighting for the people of Oregon and has a long history of advocating for their rights, freedoms, and protections. As former House Speaker, and longtime public servant and community leader, he’s dedicated his career to building safer communities and supporting Oregon families. As Attorney General, he’ll build on the legacy of Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum and work to fight crime and gun violence, stand up against any threats to reproductive health care, and defend Oregon’s clean air and water. With his strong commitment to making Oregonians safer and healthier, we look forward to helping elect Speaker Rayfield as the state’s next Attorney General.”

Statement from Dan Rayfield, Democratic Nominee for Attorney General in Oregon:

“Thank you to DAGA for this endorsement. I have always worked on behalf of the people of Oregon to keep them safe and protect their rights, and I’m greatly looking forward to continuing to build on this work with the resources in the Oregon DOJ when I’m elected as the next Attorney General. This is an office with so much potential and promise to tackle the issues that Oregonians care about. From public safety, to abortion and health care access, to gun violence prevention, to clean air and water — I will work tirelessly for the people of Oregon on these issues and so much more. And I look forward to working with DAGA to win in November.”
