Three candidates are on the November ballot for Oregon State House seat 54, centered on Bend: Republican Cheri Helt, who is also nominated by the Independent Party; Democrat Nathan Boddie; and Amanda La Bell, who is the nominee of the Working Families and Progressive Parties.
Oregon Governor Kate Brown, a Democrat, and U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley, also a Democrat, have endorsed La Bell, because the Democratic nominee has been accused of improper behavior. The seat is currently held by a Republican who is not running for re-election. See this story.
