About This Event
Election season is upon us with candidates running to represent Bendites at all levels of government — from City Council and County Commissioners to the State Legislature in Salem. The Bend Chamber of Commerce is excited to host a series of forums to introduce the candidates to the community and learn more about their policy platforms. You’ll hear firsthand from the candidates, and have the opportunity for Q&A.
County Commissioner Position #1
• Tony DeBone
• Oliver Tatom
County Commissioner Position #3
• Patty Adair
• Morgan Schmidt
The Board of County Commissioners is comprised of three elected officials who serve four-year terms. The Board is elected at large, serves as the public’s elected advocate, and is the policy making body of Deschutes County government. The Board’s duties include executive, judicial (quasi-judicial), and legislative authority over policy matters of countywide concern.  Before and after our speakers, we’ll have plenty of time for networking — plus bites and beverages. Beverages will be provided, including beer from Deschutes Brewery and cider from AVID Cider, plus appetizers from Bleu Bite Catering.
Join us on Tuesday, September 6 from 5:00PM - 7:30PM to hear from the candidates running for Deschutes County Commissioner.
