Attorney general candidate makes
campaign swing through Heppner
-Continued from page one
waste by ‘reinventing gov
ernment.” ’
Kroger began vol
unteering for the D em o
cratic Party 20 years ago and
has served as chair o f the
Democratic Party o f Oregon
Finance Committee and is a
precinct committee person.
As an AG candidate
Kroger’s priorities include:
-aggressively fight
ing meth. “ Meth is the big
gest cause of property crimes
in the state. The number one
reason I'm running—w e’ve
got to do a better job. It
(meth) impacts every part
o f the state.”
-holding “every pol
luter responsible for the
damage they cause to our
health and environment.”
-ensuring that every
single parent in the state gets
the child support to which
they are entitled. “Tons of
people don't get the money
th e y ’re entitled too. I ’ve
seen first-hand how hard it
is for single parents. It's a
major priority.”
-protecting consum
ers and retirees from scam
artists and crooked compa
nies.
-d e fe n d in g c iv il
rights, a woman's “right to
choose" and the rights o f Or
egon crime victims. Kroger
says that as O regon AG,
his job would be to enforce
Oregon law, even if Oregon
law could potentially con
flict with changes in federal
laws, such as abortion rights
and “ death with dignity”
laws. “Oregon’s Death with
Dignity” could wind up in
the courts. I love to go to
court,” he said. Kroger says
he has appeared in court ap
proximately 1,000 times. As
a federal prosecutor, he says
he convicted “97 percent of
the crim inals he charged,
winning major cases against
mafia killer Gregory Scarpa,
Jr., drug kingpin Juan “The
Puma” Rodgriquez and hun
dreds o f other drug tra f
fickers and corrupt govern
ment officials.” lie helped
prosecute “crooked Enron
executives and served on the
emergency response team to
the 9/11 terrorist attack on
the World Trade Center.”
Kroger said, how
ever, that if he was elected
Oregon AG, he would not
become involved with pros
ecuting illegal immigration,
since immigration is a fed
eral, not a state issue. “The
state can’t really do much,”
Kroger said. “ It’s the fed
eral governm ent’s job and
they’re doing a really poor
job. The federal government
has all the power. As a single
state, Oregon can't do much.
The reality is, we need a
national solution coming out
of Washington.”
As o f p ress tim e
Tuesday, K roger had not
yet filed for Oregon attorney
general. He said that cur
rent AG Hardy Myers, also
a Democrat, has indicated
that he will not run. Another
Democrat has expressed in
terest in running, however,
Kroger says.
