The race for Oregon Senate District 27 sees Democrat Anthony Broadman squaring off against Republican Michael Summers. Broadman is a lawyer and current Bend City Council member. Summers is a Redmond School District board member and a small-business owner. The district they are vying for encompasses Bend, Sisters and most of Redmond.
The senate seat is currently held by Republican Sen. Tim Knopp, R-Bend. The incumbent is barred from running again for the seat due to missing too many legislative floor sessions after leading a Republican walkout last year. Knopp has held his state Senate seat since 2012.
