Statewide Candidates Views on Housing

[Corrected format and hyperlink].
I have previously posted about the housing positions taken by Democratic presidential candidates, but haven't done so for other statewide candidates here in Oregon. In particular candidates for the Senate and for Attorney General come immediately to mind.

So today a initial examination on what's on the Attorney General candidates websites about housing.

Frankly, there wasn't much related to housing for either candidate. and most of what I found related to sub prime loan legislation. Greg Macpherson
had details about bills he supported in the last [short] legislative session, while Kroger's housing related information was non specific.

(Since neither candidates websites have a built in search function I had to stumble through several sections of their sites to find anything about housing and then use a site limited Google
search to check my results).

John Kroger (http://www.johnkroger.com/ )
"
I will aggressively attack fraud and abuse in the home mortgage industry"

"As Attorney General, I will fight to ensure that veterans returning from the Iraq war receive the quality health care to which they are entitled and assistance returning to the civilian work force. If anyone discriminates against veterans in the job or housing markets, I will fight to hold them accountable."
