WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA) released the following statement from Executive Director Sean Rankin congratulating DAGA Co-Chair Oregon AG Ellen Rosenblum on a resounding re-election victory.

Statement from Sean Rankin, Executive Director of the Democratic Attorneys General Association:

“Congratulations to Ellen Rosenblum on her resounding re-election. AG Rosenblum is not only a trusted leader for Oregonians, but also for state Attorneys General across the country. In Ellen Rosenblum, we all share a fierce advocate who fights for the people.”

“During her tenure as DAGA Co-Chair, AG Rosenblum has united Democratic AGs as a team tackling the barrage of attacks from the Trump administration and played a leading role in growing that team of Democrats. We look forward to seeing her continued success as a leader for the people of Oregon, and the country, in the years to come.”

As part of DAGA’s Incumbency Protection Program, the committee invested early in this race to raise name ID and educate voters about Attorney General Rosenblum’s leadership over the last eight years in office. DAGA provided more than $200,000 in support to her re-election including direct contributions to support campaign staff and operations. Additionally, DAGA invested in its first-of-its-kind SMS program to reach more than 1.2 million Oregonians over the course of the cycle to inform them about AG Rosenblum’s leadership on key issues and help get out the vote in the final weeks.
