Endorsement interview for Lena Berry, Mercedes Cook and Jeremiah Pedersen, candidates for Redmond Parks Pos. 2 in the May 2021 election. Look for the Source Weekly’s endorsements in May 2021 races in our April 28 issue!
Editor’s note: The print edition of this issue had a “NO” in the title. Because this measure asks voters to decide whether new additional marijuana businesses should be allowed in the county, our vote is YES. Is there anyone else out there that yearns for the return of a pro-business Republican party? Where have the […]

Oregon’s Congressional District 2 is famous for its impossible construction. It’s so large it could be a state—stretching from Ashland to Hood River and the border with Idaho. We were severely disappointed to see, after the stellar campaign that Jamie McLeod-Skinner ran in this district in 2018, winning Deschutes County, that the Democrats had little […]
A September poll from Civiqs had Jeff Merkley leading this race by 20 points. While this could be a sign of good governance on Merkley’s part, it doesn’t hurt that his Republican competitor, Jo Rae Perkins, is a QAnon conspiracist who falsely claimed Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler plotted to start Oregon’s wildfires. It turns out that […]
When we look back upon this endorsement, we’d like to recall some of the reasons we saw promise in the eventual President Biden, rather than the near-endless reasons to cast a protest vote that sees #45 exit his self-made swamp. At most basic, Americans need a president who will deliver both honesty and decency and […]

Ellen Rosenblum served as a federal prosecutor and judge before first becoming […]

Deciding who to support in the Secretary of State race has come with much discussion and challenges, but Democratic nominee, Shemia Fagan, is the candidate we find most ready for the job. Amid a field of candidates in the primary, we opted to endorse Jamie McLeod-Skinner, while also lamenting that McLeod-Skinner did not choose to […]
Bend’s City Council position 1 race has two qualified and competent candidates running—and while the position is nonpartisan, the two bring differing backgrounds and philosophies. While it’s true that a city council’s role lies in handling the mundane business of roads and sewers and city codes, increasingly it’s clear that Bend also is sorely in […]
