Dan Rayfield

The state is leading a coalition of 12 states suing over tariffs. Oregon’s economy is highly trade-dependent

The race shows no sign of the massive spending voters saw 12 years ago — that will likely wait until the general election in November. But the three candidates do offer meaningful differences in how they’d like to do the job of Oregon’s top lawyer.

For nearly a decade, Dan Rayfield has represented Corvallis in the Oregon House of Representatives. Now he’s running for statewide office, leaving a rare opening in his heavily Democratic district.
