This is an iconic time for the citizens of Bend with the first elected mayoral race taking place in 2018. The Bend Chamber, in partnership with Miller Lumber and SunWest Builders, is excited to host the first ever mayoral debate. “This moment in the City of Bend’s history could literally change how it is run and what values are put to the forefront,” shared Jamie Christman, Bend Chamber EVP of Government Affairs.

In this debate, you’ll hear from candidates and current council members Bill Moseley and Sally Russell.

The format of this debate will be a modified-presidential style with questions not preceding the candidates, but each can ask two of his or her competitor and the audience will also get a window for questions.

Other potential candidates for mayor include Charles Baer, Brian Douglass and Timothy Heckler.

This What’s Brewing debate will be co-moderated by Jamie Christman (Bend Chamber), along with partners Aaron Switzer (Source Weekly) and Curtis Vogel (C.O. Daily/Zolo Media). To see the full “Election Series” schedule of debates taking place this fall, check bendchamber.org.
