While we watch our state headed toward defeat in so many areas, we are at a crucial moment where we can turn the game around and make our great state of Oregon a champion again. The key decision for 2024 is who we elect as Attorney General.

With our vote, we get to choose: A linebacker or someone who smiles nicely and cheers his team on from the sidelines. My husband and I are strongly supporting Will Lathrop for Attorney General. We have heard Will speak on several occasions and while his proven track record in crime fighting is incredible, we also love that he played college football as a linebacker. As football fans know, the linebacker is usually one of the hardest hitting and toughest players on the team.

We want a linebacker in the AG’s office. We are recent empty nesters with students in college. We have navigated through the public school system. We own a small family business. We look forward to grandchildren. We see what is happening in Oregon with neglect of children in crisis, a poor public school system, crime escalating, missing tax dollars and the beatings that Oregon businesses are taking. It’s scary.

Will Lathrop is committed to all Oregon kids and their future and he has the experience, knowledge, compassion and the toughness we so desperately need in the Attorney Generals office. He will ensure that laws are being followed and provide our state with accountability and integrity again at the highest level.

His opponent is a shiny cheerleader for his party and this office is a stepping stone for his other political endeavors. As Speaker of the House, he has supported and advocated for so much of the bad legislation in our state. Enough is enough.

Let’s get that linebacker mentality working for us in the Attorney General’s office. Vote Will Lathrop.
