Clarno chosen as next secretary of state
Republicans.
“I’m hon-
ored by the
confidence
that
Gov.
Brown has
placed in me
Bev Clarno
and pledge
to Orego-
nians what I pledged to her
— that I will serve Orego-
nians as their s ecretary of
s tate in a professional and
non partisan manner and that
I will be a good steward of
the offi ce,” Clarno said in a
statement.
In a separate state-
ment, Brown praised Clar-
no’s “trailblazing spirit,
focus on fi scal responsibil-
ity, and a commitment to
Oregonians.”
“Bev’s experience as a
legislator and as a manager
of a large government orga-
nization is key to the suc-
cess of the programs and
employees the s ecretary of
s tate oversees,” the state-
ment said.

Republican holding state-
A Republican
from Redmond
By DIRK VANDERHART
Oregon Public Broadcasting
A former c entral Oregon
lawmaker who rose to the
pinnacles of power in both
the state House and Senate
has been tapped as Oregon’s
new secretary of state.
Gov.
Kate
Brown
announced Friday afternoon
that she’s appointing Bev
Clarno, a Republican from
Redmond, as a replacement
to Secretary of State Den-
nis Richardson, who died in
February.
With
the
selection,
Brown landed on an accom-
plished Republican with a
knowledge of how Salem
operates to oversee import-
ant functions like audits and
state elections. The 83-year-
old Clarno has also agreed
to Brown’s condition that
she not run for election to
the seat next year, a require-
ment that has rankled some
wide offi ce, died of brain
cancer . State law requires
Brown to appoint a Repub-
lican to fi ll out the rest of his
term.
The governor announced
early on in the search pro-
cess that she’d only appoint
a person who had no inter-
est in running for election,
a provision that ensures an
open seat is up for grabs
next year.
The move was consis-
tent for Brown, who set the
same criteria in 2015 when
she unexpectedly ascended
from the secretary of state’s
offi ce to the governorship
and was charged with select-
ing her own successor. She
wound up appointing Dem-
ocrat Jeanne Atkins.
Still, the insistence on
appointing a short-timer has
led to criticism from Repub-
licans, who’d like to be able
to have a somewhat sea-
soned incumbent secretary
of state running for election
in 2020.
In early March, the Ore-
gon
Republican
Party
released a list of potential
candidates it said would
“keep Dennis Richardson’s
legacy of transparent and
accountable government in
place for the next two years,
and beyond.” The roster
included Richardson’s chief
of staff, Debra Royal, and
four former GOP state law-
makers — among them a
former House speaker, Lynn
Snodgrass.
According to the gov-
ernor’s offi ce, Brown took
all of those people into
account, along with recom-
mendations from elsewhere.
“More than 20 potential
appointees” were screened,
and Brown ultimately inter-
viewed three people. The
governor’s offi ce declined
to release the names of the
other two fi nalists.
“In the interviews, Gov.
Brown asked fi nalists about
their vision for the Offi ce
of Secretary of State, their
approach to Dennis Rich-
ardson’s legacy, manage-
ment of large organizations
or government agencies, and
commitment to accountabil-
ity in state government,” the
governor’s offi ce said.
Clarno entered politics
in 1989, when she landed
a seat representing c en-
tral Oregon in the House of
Representatives. In a recent
video promoting her auto-
biography, “From Pigs to
Politics,” Clarno recounted
how she became interested
in policymaking when state
regulators began visiting her
pig farm.
“They were really arro-
gant and they were kind of
threatening to write penal-
ties and fi nes. And it just
offended me that govern-
ment would act that way
with people,” Clarno said in
the video. “I thought, ‘Gosh,
if I ever get my kids raised
and get the chance, I’ll go in
the Legislature and see if I
can change things.’”
Prior to running for offi ce,
Clarno said she got both an
undergraduate degree and
attended law school. But her
experience as a pig farmer
would come to lend her an
air of mystique in the Cap-
itol — at least partly based
on an interaction she had
while lobbying for the job of
House speaker for the 1995
legislative session.
“I asked this one guy
from Salem (for his vote)
and he says, ‘Well, I don’t
know if I’ll vote for you or
not. I really think women
should be in the kitchen
making cookies,’” Clarno
recounted in the video.
“And I said, ‘You know, I’ve
raised 3,000 hogs, and I’ve
castrated 200 in a day, and
I think I’m tough enough to
be speaker.’ Well, that did
get leaked around. I’ve been
introduced at speeches as
castrating 200 bulls in one
day.”
The Oregonian described
Clarno as “strong-willed
and ideologically consis-
tent” during her time as
speaker — just the second
woman to hold the position
in Oregon’s history — say-
ing she’d done a “respect-
able job” keeping her major-
ity party together.
