I want the candidates to tell us their positions on campaign finance reform.

In addition, I want them to answer whether the bulk of the work done by the hundreds of attorneys in the office isn't civil advice to government agencies, instead of criminal prosecutions. Isn't the Attorney General more like a County Legal Counsel than a District Attorney?

Recognizing that despite all the civil advice provided by the office the Attorney General helps develop policies dealing with criminal matters, I'd also like to know whether each of them agrees that Oregon had the right approach to preventing former prison inmates from returning to prison under the administration of former governor Barbara Roberts, and whether the anti-tax policies of conservatives resulted in increased recidivism (former offenders committing other crimes).
