Broadman added, “We need to bring pragmatic cooperation to the Council and put transportation, climate change, and the livability of our community at the forefront of all Council decisions. Our generation of leaders has an obligation to implement a sustainable vision for the current and future Bend—one that reflects Bend values of optimism and cooperation.”
“I’ve had the honor of fighting for Indigenous communities for my entire legal career and I look forward to serving all of the people of Bend,” Broadman said. “Working for Tribes has taught me as a public servant to always ask: will this make Bend a better place to live for everyone?”
Broadman has served Tribal housing authorities and regulatory agencies, and works regularly with the U.S. and local and state governments to resolve jurisdictional and tax disputes.
Broadman has served as chairman of the Oregon State Bar Indian Law Section and the Washington State Bar Administrative Law Section, and served on the Grace First Lutheran Church Council.
