Another Resignation From “team Kotek”

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek’s Behavioral Health Director, Juliana Wallace, has resigned, marking the sixth departure from Kotek’s team in five months. Wallace, who joined the administration last August, will return to her previous role as Senior Clinical Director of Behavioral Health at Central City Concern. Her resignation follows concerns from former aides about the involvement of Kotek’s spouse, Aimee Kotek Wilson, in the governor’s office. The governor’s office has added five new staff members recently. Wallace’s last day is September 13.
