Deschutes County Commissioner Patti Adair appeared with Democratic U.S. Representative Janelle Bynum Saturday at a League of Women Voters Candidate forum. The two candidates for Oregon’s 5th Congressional District met at Ridgeview High School ahead of the November election. Bynum called for more housing construction, less red tape, and support tailored to both urban and rural communities. She also highlighted student needs across the district. Adair focused on Oregon’s tax burden, saying it strains businesses and working families, and argued the private sector should play a larger role in housing development.
