Crime Victims United is a state wide organization that ad vocates on behalf of crime victims and works to influ ence public safety issues in the Legislature. “I share Crime Vic tim s U nited’s efforts to promote a more balanced judicial system through legislative action and pub lic awareness,” Rep. Smith said. “I’m honored to re ceive their endorsement and I look forward to working with Oregon’s crime vic tims to make our state a safer place.” C r i m e Vi c t i ms Uni t ed e n d o rsed Rep.
