In the race for the seat to be vacated by Sen. Tim Knopp, the Republican disqualified from running again due to repeated walkouts, a clear winner has emerged.
Anthony Broadman beat out opponent Michael Summers in early results with about 59.11% percent of the votes, as of early Wednesday. Broadman joined the Bend City Council in 2020. He works as an attorney for tribal governments and small businesses and the Chief Judge of the Warm Springs Court of Appeals. His opponent, Summers, serves as the chair for the Redmond School Board, runs a family business and is a drummer for local cover band, Precious Byrd.
“I can guarantee you that for the first time in 40 years, you’re going to have a Democratic state senator who will show up for you,” said Broadman during his speech after the early results at 8pm. “Tonight, let’s celebrate. Let’s work even harder tomorrow for our community.”
