Elected Secretary of State

Tobias Read
Democratic

The 2024 Oregon Secretary of State election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the Oregon secretary of state, the highest office in the state after the governor. [1] Incumbent Democrat LaVonne Griffin-Valade was appointed by Governor Tina Kotek to replace Shemia Fagan, who resigned in May 2023 after revelations that she took a consulting job at a cannabis company while her office was auditing Oregon's marijuana industry, which many considered to be a conflict of interest. [2] [3] Griffin-Valade did not seek election to a full term.
