The Oregon League of Conservation Voters today endorsed Greg Macpherson to be Oregon's next Attorney General.

"Greg Macpherson has an outstanding record of fighting for Oregon's environment," said OLCV Executive Director Jonathan Poisner. "We know he will take on polluters and over-zealous developers, because that's what he's already done."

In 2006, Macpherson, was co-author of Ballot Measure 49, to curb out-of-control growth by big developers, and keep Oregon's farm land protected. His father, Hector Macpherson authored Oregon's original state land use planning bill SB 100 in 1973.

"OLCV is Oregon's most trusted group advocating for the environment, and I am proud to have earned their endorsement," said Macpherson. "We have worked closely to protect Oregon's clean air and water, and its natural treasures. I look forward to continuing our partnership when I am Attorney General."

OLCV is the independent political voice for Oregon's environment. They work to educate voters about which candidates will do the most to protect Oregon's environment and hold elected officials accountable once they are elected. In their most recent ratings of Oregon legislators, Representative Greg Macpherson received a 100% score on their issues and was named to their Honor Roll.
