Oregon State Governor
Kate Brown
Kate Brown became Oregon’s governor at a difficult time for our state. With more than 25 years of service to Oregonians, she was able to hit the ground running – changing the tone in Salem and refocusing the state’s priorities on the issues that matter most.
In just over a year, Governor Brown has gotten real results for Oregon families. Kate worked successfully to raise the state’s minimum wage and guarantee paid sick leave to workers across the state; increase education funding by nine percent in order to prevent teacher layoffs and keep class sizes from increasing; signed into law a voluntary retirement plan which gives every Oregonian access to a professionally invested retirement account; and put Oregon at the forefront of the clean energy movement with legislation that ends Oregon’s use of coal power.
