Get StartedAs Attorney General, I will fiercely defend those protections and stand up to Republican attempts to impose any national abortion bans and efforts by some anti-choice states to reach beyond their borders to restrict safe access to abortion. I am committed to protecting, strengthening, and expanding safe, equitable access to reproductive and gender-affirming care, no matter who you are, where you live, or how much money you make.

To help rebuild trust between police and families, I’ll work with law enforcement to give them the tools they need to do their jobs and criminal justice reform advocates to make sure our justice system works for all Oregonians. Learn more
As your Attorney General, I will work to strengthen the DOJ’s Criminal Justice Division’s partnership with District Attorneys and Law Enforcement. Learn more
Under my leadership, the Oregon Department of Justice will work to hold polluters accountable for the damage they do to our water, land, and air. For example, the Oregon State Scenic Waterways Act, which protects our drinking water, wild fish, and river ecosystems, hasn’t seen a substantial expansion since 1988 and doesn’t protect nearly enough of our waterways. I plan to work with our state government to not only expand these protections, but more strictly enforce them. Learn more
As an Oregonian and a father, I believe it is our responsibility to protect that heritage and our children’s future by holding polluters accountable and tackling climate change here in Oregon. Learn more
As a state legislator I passed common-sense gun laws to protect survivors of domestic violence, increased funding for background checks, and get ghost guns off our streets. I will continue that work as Attorney General by building an integrated plan to protect Oregonians from gun violence, especially in our schools. Learn more
Addiction is a significant public health crisis; effectively and immediately delivering treatment to those struggling with it must be a top priority. It is also clear that addiction is part of a complex web of issues that include homelessness, mental and behavioral health, and criminal activity. Learn more
During Oregon’s housing crisis I have worked to create the largest housing packages in the state’s history to get people off the streets and into stable housing and increase the supply of housing so homes are more affordable for all Oregonians. I have been frustrated by the red tape and time that it has taken for these investments and policies to make an impact in our communities. As Attorney General, I will work with state agencies to streamline these legal processes to get these investments into communities so that services can be delivered now. Learn more
I plan on expanding the work of the DOJ to investigate and prosecute those who violate the Unlawful Trade Practices Act (UTPA) in Oregon. Currently, DOJ does not have the adequate staffing or resources to fully execute this mission. This means hiring additional attorneys and investigators to systematically review consumer protection complaints and find bad actors. This scrutiny will allow the Oregon DOJ to build impactful cases against large interests, companies, and groups breaking Oregon law, whether through scams, telemarketing, robocalls, illegal auto dealing, or other predatory practices. Every Oregonian should have a place to turn to when they’ve been harmed or taken advantage of by a bad actor. Learn more
As Attorney General, I will bring together law enforcement and criminal justice reform advocates to find proven, solutions-driven approaches to better connect people to services while strengthening efforts to go after large-scale drug trafficking, especially the fentanyl epidemic. Learn more
I’ll proactively work to take on predatory lenders, scam artists, identity theft, credit fraud, and abusive practices by insurance companies; and improve and expand the state’s efforts to make sure consumers are treated legally and fairly in the marketplace. Learn more
As Attorney General, I will protect workers from wage theft, misclassification, and child labor violations, stop harmful practices like on-call scheduling, defend workers from union-busting and workplace violations, protect workers from unfair non-compete agreements and tip-stealing by their employers, and protect everyone from sexual harassment at their place of work. Learn more
I will build a new labor enforcement team within the DOJ to ensure all Oregonians’ rights are protected in the workplace. Learn more
