Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown is set to become the first openly bisexual governor in U.S. history, following Governor John Kitzhaber’s resignation amid allegations of ethics violations. Brown will be sworn in on Feb. 18.
Brown, who has been married to husband Dan Little since 1997, has openly discussed her bisexuality in past campaign. When she was elected secretary of state in 2008, she became the first bisexual to win a statewide elected office.
