From the Oregonian:

Democrat John Kroger is likely to become Oregon’s next attorney general after defeating rival Greg Macpherson and heading into the November election with no declared Republican opposition.

Democrats also chose Sen. Kate Brown, D-Portland, over two other senators in the secretary of state’s race. In November, she’ll face Rick Dancer, 48, the former Eugene anchorman who ran unopposed in the Republican primary.

Sen. Ben Westlund, D-Bend, and Republican Allen Alley, a former aide to Gov. Ted Kulongoski, were unopposed in their primaries for treasurer.

Kroger, 42, a law professor and former federal prosecutor, won 55 percent of the vote, cruising past Macpherson, 57, a three-term Lake Oswego legislator and government benefits lawyer, with 45 percent. Incumbent Democrat Hardy Myers decided not to seek a fourth term.
