Newberg, Ore. – Will Lathrop, Republican nominee for Attorney General, released the following statement following a resounding victory in the primary election:

“Tonight's results are further evidence that public safety is the number one concern for Oregonians across the state. Change is needed. I represent a dawn of new leadership that is focused on public service and problem solving - not partisan politics. As Oregon's next Attorney General I will prioritize keeping Oregonians safe by holding drug traffickers accountable, protecting children from violence, abuse, and online exploitation, and enforcing a zero-tolerance policy on public corruption. Crime is indiscriminate and this position shouldn't be partisan. I look forward to reaching across the aisle over the next few months, like I have throughout this campaign. I am honored by the trust voters have placed in me to lead our state towards a safer, healthier future. Better times are ahead, and I am hopeful for the future of our beautiful state.”
