Ellen Rosenblum For OR Atty General [View all]

There are Two Registered Dems running for Oregon's Attorney General Position.

One is For "the people". Ellen is an Oregonian. She schooled here, worked here and raised her children here. She understands Oregons issues, she has progressive ideas to take our state forward. She is tough yet fair.


Her opponant, Dwight Holton was born and raised in VA. He grew up in a very conservative state. His father served as VA Gov as a republican.

He has moved forward with very strict laws that control society and at times these laws went against the peoples wishes and the majority electorate.
Mr Holton is wrong for Oregon. I look at who backs him and where the bulk of his out of state funding comes from.

The choice is clear for most: Either we want to move Oregon forward or do we want to Keep the status quo that has created the mess we find ourselves in today?

I want change. Electing a candidate like Ellen Rosenblum Definitely will help us achieve our goal(s).

Ellen Rosenblum Serves Oregonians-Dwight Holton serves his Special Interests and the "ordinary Oregonian" is not part of that club.
