PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Gov. Kate Brown is slated to give the State of the State address today, her second since taking office a little more than a year ago.

She’ll be speaking at the Portland City Club’s Friday Forum in downtown Portland, but hasn’t given much detail about what she’ll be discussing.

When giving the speech last year, she was only two months into the role that John Kitzhaber left amid influence peddling allegations. She promised at the time to make government transparency and accountability a top priority in response to the scandal.

Brown will likely tout the minimum wage and pro-climate bills as some of her biggest accomplishments.
