That was the announcement Wednesday from Governor John Kitzhaber. The news comes just as she picks up a Republican challenger in the November election.</p><p>Rosenblum is a retired state judge who had the inside track to replace Kroger by virtue of winning the Democratic nomination last month. She&#39;ll take the oath of office June 29th, the same day Kroger officially steps down to become president of Reed College in Portland. The appointment assures that she&#39;ll be Attorney General for at least six months. She could tack on another four years if she wins the general election in November. Rosenblum says she&#39;s already spoken with Kroger about making the transition as smooth as possible.
