Macpherson’s right for AG role

"...only one candidate – state Rep. Greg Macpherson of Lake Oswego – has the prerequisite knowledge of Oregon, its people and the institutions necessary to hold statewide office...

He knows the issues and better understands the role of Oregon’s attorney general.

Knowledge and experience are essential for the attorney general to be successful. Yes, we would like to see a more activist attorney general than Oregon has had in the past, but it is Macpherson who has developed the experience and relationships necessary to make that advocacy achieve results.

With no Republican running in the fall, whoever wins this race will be the next attorney general. We recommend that voters choose Greg Macpherson."
