Governor Kotek and First Lady Reflect on One Oregon Listening Tour Governor delivers on promise to visit all 36 counties in first year of administration, meets with nearly 1,000 Oregonians
Salem, OR | December 18, 2023 | Press Release D uring her first year in office, Governor Tina Kotek kept her promise to visit every county in the state. Over the course of her One Oregon Listening Tour, the Governor visited all 36 counties, meeting with approximately 973 Oregonians in 83 towns. First Lady Aimee Kotek Wilson accompanied her on 27 of the county visits. The goal of the visits was to listen to Oregonians in their home communities – urban, suburban, rural, and frontier – to broaden the Kotek administration’s understanding of the state’s needs and build working partnerships across the state. The conversations centered around hearing from Oregonians about their hopes, challenges, and how the state can be a stronger partner on key priorities, such as housing and homelessness, behavioral health, and early education, as well as on issues unique to each county.
