Secretary of State
Kate Brown
The Secretary of State is one of three constitutional offices created at statehood. As an independent constitutional officer,
the Secretary of State answers directly, and solely, to the people of Oregon.
The Secretary of State provides complete, factual information about elections, corporations, government history and government performance, and maintains secure systems and reliable operations.
A government open to public inspection and review guards against fraud, corruption and excessive expense. The Secretary of State provides the public open access to the information that makes Oregon's representative democracy work.
