Indigenous vote 2024.On Tuesday, Central Oregon voters overwhelmingly elected Anthony Broadman (D-Bend) to represent them in the Oregon Senate. Broadman, who serves as a Bend city councilman, tribal court judge and counsel to tribal governments, will now bring his experience to the state Legislature.
“We started this campaign a year ago based on a simple idea,” said Broadman. “If we show up in Salem and fight for working families and Central Oregon children, everyone will be better off.”
Broadman’s campaign, which raised $1.1 million, saw hundreds of volunteers knock on more than 44,000 doors. He was nominated by the Democratic and Independent parties and won in both House districts that make up Senate District 27.
“Today is a reminder of the power of unity and cooperation. Our campaign brought together Republicans, Democrats and Independents from across Redmond, Sisters, Bend and Deschutes County. We all shared a common vision of how we could build a more fair, affordable, and secure future for our community. I will bring this shared vision to Salem as I stand up for all 140,326 Oregonians in our district, regardless of who they voted for.”
Broadman has listed efficient and effective government, public safety, housing and economic development as his legislative priorities.
“The Central Oregon way is we work together. Let’s get to work now for the future of our state,” Broadman added.
