BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — Four of the seven seats on the Bend City Council are up for grabs this November as eight candidates met this week's filing deadline.

Only that open council seat, Position 2, has a candidate running unopposed, Gina Franzosa. Councilor Megan Norris has drawn one Position 1 challenger, Jonathan Curtis, while Position 3 Councilor Megan Perkins faces one challenger, Nick Cerveny.

Long-time Councilor Barb Campbell faces two candidates seeking her seat - Steve Platt and Chet Wamboldt.

A reminder, the deadline for those still needing to register to vote is October 15th. Ballots will be mailed out on October 16th.
