About Tina Kotek
I began my career advocating for those in need, and now as Oregon’s Governor, I still carry the value of service instilled in me by my parents. My entire focus is on tackling the state’s biggest challenges and building a better future for Oregonians.
My grandparents came from Eastern Europe to find opportunity and a better life. My parents were proud first-generation Americans. With the help of the GI Bill, my dad went to night school and was the first in his family to earn a college degree.
My parents believed in hard work and being involved in the community, and encouraged us to follow our dreams.
When I moved to Oregon in 1987, I found a place where I could truly be myself. I fell in love with the beauty of the state and the openness of the people. I earned a degree at the University of Oregon, graduating without student debt because of a Pell grant, work study assistance, and affordable tuition.

Tina Kotek on Housing and Abundance
“I fought to reduce food insecurity – supporting a strong minimum wage, affordable housing, and access to health insurance.”
“We raised the minimum wage, passed paid family leave, and put Oregon on a path to 100% clean energy.”
“Governor Kotek has spent her first term tackling our biggest challenges head-on: Fighting to help Oregonians dealing with the cost of living, reducing homelessness, improving our schools, and so much more.”
