We caught some great debate moments on camera and wanted to share.

Over the past month and a half the Source editorial board has interviewed every Bend City Council candidate and most every other person running for a race in Central Oregon.

While our full slate of endorsements won't be released until next week, we thought we'd share videos of these chats with you now.

Check out our videos at our YouTube channel.

This year we chose to interview candidates in a forum style. In most cases, all candidates for a race came to speak to us at the same time.

This led to some great discussion. We were particularly pleased with the level of debate between Nathan Hovecamp and Jason Conger, who are running for House District 54, and the four people running for Council Position 2, including Doug Knight, Ed Barbeau, Ed McCoy and Charles Baer.

Happy voting and viewing!
