The Statesman Journal in Salem has endorsed Kate Brown in her bid to become Oregon’s secretary of state.

In a glowing endorsement, the paper mentioned that Brown’s priorities would include cracking down on fraud and abuse in the initiative system and to motivate young people to vote when they become of age.

The paper writes:

Her nine years as Senate majority leader gave her experience in working with colleagues, other elected officials and everyday Oregonians. She demonstrated a keen understanding of state issues and the pragmatic ability to negotiate compromises.

Most of all, she proved she could get results. She played a key role in passing major pieces of legislation. She would apply the same intelligence and skill to the job she seeks.
