Governor Kate Brown has ordered that all flags at Oregon public institutions be flown at half-staff in honor and remembrance of former Vice President Walter Mondale.

Brown said as a mark of respect for his life of service to the nation, flags will fly at half-staff until sunset on the day of internment.

Brown said, “Vice President Walter Mondale was a true public servant”. She said, “Growing up in Minnesota, I remember hearing his speeches and seeing him in action. A leader who championed progressive values, he exemplified decency and lived a life of service for this nation. He will be missed”.
