Rayfield will host a multistate press conference to highlight the critical antitrust enforcement work state attorneys general have been doing, and to make the case that states need more resources to keep doing it. The Oregon Department of Justice (ODOJ) plans to ask state lawmakers next month to double its antitrust unit’s capacity.

“There are families who are paying more for groceries, getting squeezed on their cable bill, or watching their local newscast get hollowed out, and they have no idea a corporate merger is the reason why. That’s what’s happening around the country, and it’s why we’ve been fighting back. But the federal government is no longer a partner in this work, and the work doesn’t stop. States have been filling that gap, and we need the resources to keep doing it.” – AG Rayfield
