Governor of Oregon

I'd edit this myself but cannot see how. Portal:Oregon lists Kate Brown as the governor, whereas Oregon elected Tina Kotek to be governor in 2022 and she has been serving since she was sworn in, shortly after. Here's what it says:

== State facts ==

Nickname: The Beaver State
Capital city: Salem
Largest city: Portland
Governor: Kate Brown ( D)
Total area: 255,026 km²

Can someone fix the Governor listing here? Larry Koenigsberg ( talk) 05:18, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Done - @ Larrykoen: The "State facts" are editable at Portal:Oregon/State facts. -- John of Reading ( talk) 07:36, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
