Kate Brown Secures Support from Two Prominent Organizations

OR-Senator Kate Brown received the support of Oregon educators this weekend at the Oregon Education Association- People for the Improvement of Education (OEA-PIE) conference. At the conference, Senator Kate Brown spoke of the importance of listening to educators and those on the front lines in creating education policy and standards for Oregon schools, to her commitment to continue to lead the charge in building integrity back into Oregon's initiative system and to making sure that every vote is counted and every voice heard.

"Senator Kate Brown has been a longstanding champion for public education. Over the years, she has met with education professionals from across the state to listen to their concerns and deliver for Oregon. OEA-PIE is pleased to recommend Senator Kate Brown for Oregon's Secretary of State," states Rebecca Levison, OEA-PIE Board Vice Chair and member of the Portland Association of Teachers.

OEA represents 48,000 members across the state including; K-12 teachers, education support professionals and community college faculty.

In addition to receiving the support of Oregon educators, Senator Kate Brown received the endorsement of NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon PAC, one of Oregon's leading reproductive rights organizations.

NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon Executive Director, Michele Stranger Hunter cites Brown's long history of leadership on the issue. "Senator Brown has been involved in the choice movement for two decades. Her hard work on this issue dates back to her experiences in law school as an escort at the Portland Feminist Health Center. Since then she has continued to be a champion for reproductive rights as a advocate and a legislator, even volunteering her legal services to fight Ballot Measures 8 and 10 in the court system. We look forward to working with Kate as the next Secretary of State for Oregon."
