Three of Oregon’s top statewide offices will be on November’s general election ballot: Oregon attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer.
Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum announced last year that she would not seek a fourth term, term limits bar Treasurer Tobias Read from seeking reelection and LaVonne Griffin-Valade was appointed last year for the remainder of former Secretary of State Shemia Fagan’s term after she resigned during an ethics investigation.
These are the candidates for each of the races, listed alphabetically.
