Top Kotek staff were concerned about first lady’s role, security requests, records show
Top staff in Gov. Tina Kotek’s office raised concerns internally about first lady Aimee Kotek Wilson’s growing role in the administration, public records released Friday show.
The governor’s office began releasing thousands of pages of emails and other correspondence on Friday afternoon in response to March records requests from the Capital Chronicle and other media outlets. A preliminary review of those documents shows that staff had deep concerns about the governor and Kotek Wilson crossing ethical lines and compromising the office’s ability to effectively tackle the state’s pressing housing and behavioral health issues.
