Salem, OR. – Official Release: On Thursday, House Republican Leader Christine Drazan (R-Canby) released the following statement regarding the appointment of Ken Sanchagrin to Director of Public Defense Commission:
“Oregonians in need of public defense deserve the state’s full commitment to ensuring swift justice. The appointment of Mr. Sanchagrin is a welcome pivot toward competency from an administration marred in scandal and chaos. Mr. Sanchagrin must now lead the Public Defense Commission with integrity and prioritize the backlog of more than 4,000 Oregonians whose constitutional right to a fair and speedy trial has been compromised.”
