Democrat Tina Kotek is projected to win the tight race for Oregon governor. Kotek played a key role in increasing Oregon’s minimum wage, abortion access, investing $50 million in clean energy and guaranteeing sick leave for all Oregon workers.
Kotek said in her Thursday remarks that she was honored and humbled by the opportunity to serve as Oregon’s next governor.“I ask my fellow Oregonians, no matter who you voted for, or even whether you voted at all, to believe in our state and our future,” she said. “Please, be engaged so we can all help solve problems together.”
Kotek said that, once she takes office, she will focus “on three things first”: Declaring a state of emergency over the state’s homeless crisis, expand access to mental health and addiction treatment services and work to “bridge the divisions in our state.”
