Left to right top, Republican Will Lathrop and Democrat Dan Rayfield, and left to right bottom, Democrat Shaina Maxey Pomerantz and Republican Michael Cross are running for Oregon attorney general in the primary election May 21, 2024. 

SALEM — Four candidates are running for Oregon attorney general and hope to get their party’s nod in the primary to compete in November to succeed Ellen Rosenblum.

Rosenblum, Oregon’s Democratic attorney general, will retire after finishing her current and third four-year term. She was first elected in 2012, becoming the state’s first woman in the role. This the first open race for attorney general in Oregon for more than a decade.
