OR-AG: Oregon attorney general candidates spar for last time in televised debate

The two candidates running for Oregon attorney sparred in their final debate Wednesday evening over abortion, gun violence and election safety, giving voters one last chance to weigh their differences before the November election.

Democrat Dan Rayfield, former House speaker and an attorney, and Republican Will Lathrop, a former Oregon prosecutor in Marion and Yamhill counties, are vying to replace Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, a Democrat who is not running for reelection.

This is the first time in 16 years that the race is open, and it’s attracted big money: Rayfield raised more than $1.8 million this year while Lathrop brought in more than $1.3 million.

The 55-minute debate, televised on KOIN, was recorded on Tuesday and organized by the City Club of Portland.
