This week Tillamook County Sheriff Todd Anderson and Washington County Sheriff Rob Gordon declared their support for Greg in the race for Oregon's next Attorney General.

"In my six years of service as an Oregon Sheriff I have always been impressed by Greg's willingness to take time out of his schedule to meet and confer, even in districts he doesn't directly represent," said Sheriff Gordon. "He has the experience to find smart solutions by bringing all parties involved to the table. I believe that his work ethic and integrity are never in doubt. All of these qualities will make him a great Attorney General for Oregon"

"Sheriffs Anderson and Gordon understand my proven record of protecting Oregonians from the dangers of meth labs, internet predators, and repeat property criminals," said Macpherson. "I'm honored to have their support."

These endorsements add to Greg's broad range of support. From environmental, civil rights, labor and farmer organizations to elected officials, including the Oregon League of Conservation Voters, NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon, UFCW Local 555, the Oregon Farm Bureau, Governor Ted Kulongoski, Attorney General Hardy Myers, State Treasurer Randall Edwards, and Superintendent of Public Instruction Susan Castillo. Macpherson has also been endorsed by former Governor Barbara Roberts and Congresswoman Darlene Hooley, the only federal elected official who has chosen a candidate in this race.
