Join us for the Marion County District Attorney Candidate Forum!
District attorneys are the most powerful people in the criminal justice system. These elected leaders decide who to charge with a crime, and what kind of crime to charge a person with. They have the power to end mass incarceration, to stop racial disparities, and to put a check on police violence.
You can meet Paige Clarkson, likely Marion County's next district attorney, at our candidate forum. This is your chance to hear about her platform, ask questions, and share your vision for a better criminal justice system.
The ACLU of Oregon is a nonpartisan organization that does not endorse or oppose any candidate for office. We are engaging in this work to promote voter education and participation because there is so much at stake for civil liberties and the rights of all communities in Marion County.
