After Governor John Kitzhaber resigned in February 2015, elevating Brown to the governorship, Rosenbaum was named by The Oregonian as a potential secretary of state.[1] In 2023, Rosenbaum temporarily replaced County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson on the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners. A new commissioner will be elected in the May 2023 election, who will replace Rosenbaum (who will not be running for election).[2]
