Secretary of State Kate Brown is continuing to reshape her staff after winning re-election in November.

As WW reported earlier, Brown replaced her deputy Barry Pack with Brian Shipley, a former aide to Gov. John Kitzhaber and Ted Kulongoski.

Today, Brown hired a new spokesman, Tony Green. Green, a former long-time Oregonian reporter, previously served as spokesman for former Attorney General John Kroger. After Kroger resigned last year, Green took a job with the Oregon Department of Administrative Services. He replaces Andrea Cantu-Schomus in Brown's office.
