Former Portland Auditor LaVonne Griffin-Valade has been named Oregon’s new secretary of state, Gov. Tina Kotek announced Wednesday. The announcement comes nearly two months after Shemia Fagan resigned the post following news that she had taken a $10,000 a month consulting gig with an affiliate of embattled marijuana company La Mota at a time when her office was auditing the cannabis industry. Cheryl Myers, who had been Fagan’s deputy, has served as acting secretary of state since Fagan’s resignation.
