AG Roseblum Reels in $150,000 Contribution

AG Ellen Rosenblum
By NIGEL JAQUISS

Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum reported a $150,000 contribution today from the Democratic Attorneys General Association.

If that figure sounds slightly familiar, that's because the group earlier gave the same amount to Rosenblum's predecessor, John Kroger, last year. Kroger gave the money back when he resigned earlier this year to become president of Reed College.

Rosenblum (who is married to WW Publisher Richard Meeker) faces Republican James Buchal in the November general election. She now has $236,000 on hand; Buchal has just under $7,000.
