“I’m saddened to hear that Secretary of State Dennis Richardson’s battle with brain cancer ended last night as he passed away at age 69. On behalf of the Oregon School Employees Association (OSEA), I offer our condolences to his family.
“In 2017, Richardson graciously agreed to be one of our guest speakers during our Legislative Education Day (LED), and I’m sure he would have returned for this year’s LED, too, had he not gotten ill. He and his family will no doubt be in our thoughts as LED 2019 kicks off on Sunday.”
