Kotek Changes Public Defender Commissioner Leadership

(Salem, OR) -- Governor Tina Kotek has changed leadership of the Oregon Public Defense Commission. Kotek says it's unacceptable that more than four-thousand defendants in Oregon don't have assigned attorneys. The governor appointed Oregon Criminal Justice Commission executive director Ken Sanchagrin to replace Jessica Kampfe. Kotek says she set a deadline of June 1st to receive a timeline for when the public defender crisis in Oregon would be resolved. She wants a plan for the six counties where the problem is the worst.
