Sen. Kate Brown added the Service Employees International Union Locals 503 and 49 to her list of supporters in her bid for Secretary of State.
"Kate Brown has the background and capabilities to build on the good work of Bill Bradbury as Secretary of State and further invigorate the office," said Barbara Casey, statewide chair of CAPE, SEIU's political arm in Oregon.
"We are especially impressed with her vision of the Secretary of State's role in auditing the performance of state agencies to ensure they are working as well as they should for all of us. Kate's activist, progressive and effective record in public life makes her the ideal candidate to realize this ambitious vision," she continued in a statement.
The union represents more than 50,000 workers.
Brown has garnered the majority of the organizational endorsements in the race against Sens. Vicki Walker and Rick Metsger.
