Campaign website
Lathrop’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Will has the vision and experience to restore our broken justice system and rebuild trust in our government institutions. As Oregon's next Attorney General, we trust Will to: Reduce Crime Oregon is suffering from a culture of lawlessness and our communities don’t feel safe. Drug cartels are taking over our state, making millions of dollars from an addiction crisis that is destroying communities and tearing families apart. Salem politicians have failed to protect victims and instead have sided with criminals by taking tools and resources away from the police. These same politicians have failed to recognize Ballot Measure 110 and the decriminalization of hard drugs as the problem that is fueling the crisis on our streets. As Oregon’s Attorney General, Will plans to take on organized crime and redirect resources within the Department of Justice to combat drug trafficking, stand up for crime victims, and restore peace and safety in our communities. Limit Agency Overreach Businesses are leaving Oregon at an alarming rate. Runaway bureaucracy is crushing small businesses and family farms, threatening livability in our state for years to come. State agencies must follow the law. Unfortunately, politicians are using the Department of Justice to pursue partisan political agendas that reach beyond the scope of legal authority - limiting personal freedom and making it hard for businesses to survive. As Oregon’s next Attorney General, Will is committed to leading the Department of Justice to make sure Oregon’s state agencies follow the law and limit harmful government overreach. Combat Corruption Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Decades of single-party rule have led to pervasive corruption in Salem with no accountability. The failure to investigate and prosecute cases of public corruption is eroding public trust in our institutions and our public officials. As a human rights attorney, Will has fought corrupt government officials and politicians overseas and has seen firsthand how corruption threatens democracy. As Oregon’s next attorney general, Will plans to enforce a zero-tolerance policy for public corruption.[2] |
