| dbo:abstract |
Dwight Carter Holton (born December 18, 1965) is an American attorney and politician from Oregon. Born in Roanoke, Virginia, he was approximately four years old when his father, Linwood Holton, was elected governor, becoming the first Republican in one-hundred years to hold that office. The elder Holton, who ran on a platform of racial reconciliation, famously sent his children to majority-Black public schools in Richmond, following court-ordered integration. After earning a degree at Brown University and spending a number of years working on Democratic political campaigns, Holton entered the University of Virginia School of Law, and, after his graduation, joined the United States Department of Justice as an Assistant United States Attorney. He spent over a decade prosecuting cases in Brooklyn and, later, Portland, Oregon, before being named interim United States Attorney for the District of Oregon in 2010. After a year-and-a-half in office, he left federal government service to seek the Democratic nomination for Oregon Attorney General in 2012. Despite being an early frontrunner in campaign fundraising, he lost his party's primary to Ellen Rosenblum. (en) |
