Tina Kotek Sworn in as Governor of Oregon, Joining Massachusetts’ Maura Healey as One of the First Out Lesbian Governors in the Nation

Tina Kotek was sworn in as Governor of Oregon on Monday, becoming one of the first two out lesbian governors in the nation alongside Massachusetts' Maura Healey. Kotek, a Democrat, was previously the Speaker of the Oregon House and the first lesbian to hold that position in the US, and was also the longest-serving speaker in Oregon history. As Governor, she succeeds fellow Democrat Kate Brown, who was the first out bisexual Governor in the nation.
