Today, Just Out, Portland's source for GLTB news in Oregon, endorsed Greg to be Oregon's next Attorney General.

Here is what they had to say about picking Greg:

"When House Bill 2007 made its way to the Oregon House floor, it was Rep. Greg Macpherson, D-Lake Oswego, who carried the bill to House victory, battling back almost two hours of brutal debate from equal rights opponents. Macpherson's commitment to human rights doesn't end there. His progressive work on treatment of criminals, payday loan caps and protections of the natural Oregon landscape are all vote-worthy accomplishments. Macpherson is the candidate best poised to reclaim Oregon's initiative petition process for the state and to ensure all Oregonians are equally protected and supported by our laws."
