requiring the Secretary of State to translate portions of state and county voters'

to voting for those who are not fully proficient in English. The bill's requirements are
being implemented for the first time this election.

County Commissioners nonpartisan positions.
I serveV 2s .2 TiII2w1#_-*V C*unty C#AnA9issi1#)xer ftr twelve ye2m.
About halfway through my second term folks in our county
wondered why their County Commissioners were partisan
(Democrat, Republican) when the rest of the county elected
officials like the Sheriff, District Attorney, Clerk and Treasurer
were nonpartisan. Good Question!
Well, the Commissioners looked around at other counties in
Oregon and sure enough we found out that most of the 36
counties, 26 to be exact or 72% were already electing their
County Commissioners in nonpartisan races. So, we put it on
citizens said yes, we want you to be nonpartisan, too. We
were quite surprised as 70% is pretty much a landslide vote.
So, when we asked people why they supported us going non-
partisan here's what some said.
We don't see our commissioners' roles and responsibili-
ties as partisan jobs. Roles and responsibilities men-
tioned included such things as "We want our county
roads to be in good shape", "We want you to keep
us safe so keep the Sherriff adequately funded", "We
want you to have an effective county health pro-
gram", "We want an effective county trash disposal
process", etc. all nonpartisan issues.
I had heard from a number of people that were upset be-
cause a portion of our county citizens (30%) were not reg-
istered as either democrat or republican and didn't get a
chance to vote in the primary. Now that our Commission
election is nonpartisan, they can vote in the primary.
I hope you join me in supporting our commissioner positions
to be nonpartisan seats and elections, like most of the rest of
Oregon has been for decades.

1,11th nonpartisan elections all candidates run in one open
race. If there is a primary, the top vote aetters then face off in
November. It doesn't matter what their political party is. Two
Republicans could run against each other. Or two Democrat
Or one from each party.
We already vote for nonpartisan elected officials. Our school
districts are nonpartisan. Our city councils are nonpartisan.
Oregon has 36 counties. Only 6 counties are fully partisan
where all commissioners run as candidates from a particular
party (such as Republican and Democrat). Deschutes Count
is one of them.
People are sick of the bickering between the parties. Let's
have a system where our county commissioners are free of
party influence. Let's have a system where the most popular
all the candidates actually wins. I

There are many good reasons to vote yes on 1,1,19-148 to make
the Deschutes County Commissioner seats and elections
nonpartisan. A few facts to consider:
In the last 15 years, many Oregon counties transitioned
from partisan to nonpartisan commissioner elections.
Currently, 26 of Oregon's 36 counties, 72% of them, are
nonpartisan seats. Deschutes County? Not yet.
When similar measures were placed on the ballot in other
counties, the voters overwhelmingly supported the mea-
sure. People are tired of partisan elections at the local
level.
Deschutes County Commissioners are the only county-
wide elected officials who have a primary (partisan)
election and have a county seat showing a political party
affiliation. All other elected officials in our county are
nonpartisan seats and elections; judges, sheriff, Assessor,
Clerk, District Attorney, etc.
Our commissioners work on infrastructure, public safety,
land use, county fairs, public health, legislating, judging,
etc. These are all nonpartisan concerns and activities.
This measure will not impact our county form of govern-
ment nor change the terms of service of any commis-
sioner.
Oregon has closed primaries. Therefore, about 1/3 of our
county voters who are not affiliated with a major party,
may not run for office nor vote in any primary election.
The major parties endorse candidates regardless their
being in nonpartisan races. Your party will still help you
decide. Checkout party slate cards mailed to you or left
on your porch.
Nearly 7,000 registered voters signed the citizen's
tive petition from all over Deschutes County in order to
place this measure on the ballot.

The partisan division that is straining our nation thes 'ys
cing D e da will not help us solve the complex problems fa eschutes
County. In fact, the partisan primaries and elections that we
currently use to choose our county commissioners provide a
funnel for toxic national partisanship to trickle into our commi
sioner races and our county governance.
Partisan commissioner elections:
disenfranchise voters that aren't registered Democrat or
Republican,
encourage candidacies that appeal more to the party ba
than to the general electorate, and
do not represent or serve our very purple community.
There are currently 154,439 registered Deschutes County
voters, including:

I was elected in 2020 through partisan elections and primaries

Instead of two elections each year a primary and a general
election -- there will only be one election. The loss of a primary
election will lead to much less"vetting" of candidates, much less
exposure of policy choices and the strengths and weaknesses
of candidates -- and more control by the "party insiders".
As Republicans we favor "competitive primaries" where there
can be several contestants for a given position. This can be
hard for the candidate, but good for voters. We get variety
and choice. Voters get to vote on more options and become
more informed.
The 1eschYt&_v-1em*,crat away frtm all that im
recent years. In the last several years there has been no com-
petition in so-called "non -partisan" races for major governing
bodies, between Democrat candidates.
In the 2021 Bend-Lapine School Board election, the Democrat
Party had their slate of 4 candidates named and running by
January 2021 and excluded others in the race for the election
in May. The same was true for the 2021 Bend Metro Parks
and Recreation District election. 3 slots, 3 candidates. In the
2020 Bend City Council races, they had their candidates early
in the election season and never changed them. Likewise, in
races for the Democrat nominees. Who picked all of those
candidates and made your choices for you?
Voters should oppose this change in the election process for
the Deschutes County Commission.
Non -partisan elections don't guarantee "non -partisan" Boards.

RAPRD offers activities for all ages. From soccer, swim les-
sons and tech classes to adult sports and senior fitness and
aqua -aerobics classes. Participation numbers have grown
steadily since its foundation, but demand has outstripped
capacity as Redmond has grown.
The current facilities have not kept pace with the population.
The swim center is outdated and crowded with waitlists for
swim lessons and teams. On a typical day, there may be ten
different activities vying for pool space, none of which are
happy with the 84'F water and small locker rooms.
In addition to the pool, the Odem Medo Center, which hosted
fitness & enrichment classes, a half gym and weight room,
recently closed its doors due to Redmond's master plan. The
bygone facility coupled with our aged pool are completely
inadequate for the needs of Redmond today, much less our
community needs for decades to come.

In 2020, the majority of Deschutes County residents voted
in favor of providing access to the clinically proven mental

Deschutes County residents deserve MORE access to

Psilocybin assisted therapy has been designated a "break-

depression, and addiction. Access to this treatment should be
approachable and local for all residents seeking it.
We are prepared for the psilocybin industry
OHA has spent two years collaborating with mental health

Measure 9-152. Here's why:
Our county, state and nation are currently facing an un-
precedented mental health crisis.
Research from respected institutions like Johns Hopkins
University has shown that psilocybin is an effective thera-
peutic agent in treating depression, anxiety, addiction
and other mental health disorders. It is also being stud-
ied in PTSD, migraines, anorexia and Alzheimer's disease.
The evidence is so strong that the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has designated psilocybin a
Breakthrough Therapy.
Many people do not respond to the medications that are
currently available, leaving them with chronic conditions
that continue to perpetuate suffering. Mental health pro-
fessionals badly need more tools to help address this.
When administered in a facilitated session with the safe-
guards written into the Oregon law, psilocybin is a safe,
effective, and non -addictive option for our patients.
Measure 9-152 would limit access to this therapy by

medicinal mushroom farms in Oregon and California. 10 years
ago I founded Myriad Mycology, which provides mushroom -
based nutritional supplements and consultative services.
I was raised in Oregon and have been deeply upset by
th-9
eas, including Deschutes County. They are eyesores, and they
treat the land terribly. It is tempting to compare psilocybin
mushroom cultivation to cannabis, but the comparison
is apples to oranges. Cultivation facilities will be extremely
sparse. There will be production limits set by OHA per facility
that directly correlate with the number of service centers and
potential participants in the area. The more facilities there are,
the less profitable any one facility will be.
In a county of approximately 200,000 people like
Deschutes, we can expect to service up to 6,000 participants a
year. This would require around 40 pounds of dried mushrooms
which could be grown in a facility utilizing less resources than
one single family home. One 3-month production cycle
and a few hundred gallons of water would be suff icient to
produce all the mushrooms required to service Deschutes
county for the entire year.
A mushroom cultivation facty is a highly regulated indoor
facility. Per the state rules there will also be no outdoor mush -
able from the outside. There will be no light pollution, no sound
Q,ollution no need for a la[,Qe staff and no e
tion of natural resources.
I hope this serves to clarify the minimal impact that psilocybin
mushroom cultivation will have on Deschutes County.

Our nation finds itself in a mental health crisis that can no
longer be ignored. Millions suffer everyday from anxiety, de-
pression, PTSD and a myriad of other mental health concerns.
Dozens of research studies have shown psilocybin to be a
safe and effective therapy for multiple mental and behavioral
health disorders. Access to psilocybin services is an important
and necessary step in the right direction towards improving our
community's health and wellbeing. Allowing access to psilocy-
bin services will help save the lives of thousands.
Psilocybin :
• Is safe and non addictive when administered during a
facilitated session, as required by Oregon law.
• Is a natural medicine directly from mushrooms without the
harmful side effects often caused by pharmaceutical drugs
• Is a promising tool for people struggling with mental
health concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and
addiction
• Often requires only ONE session to provide significant
and sustainable relief from suffering, unlike some phar-
maceuticals which must be taken daily for months or years.
• Psilocybin will NOT be available for purchase like can-
nabis - it will only be allowed under the careful supervision

of state licensed service centers.

Let's just get this out of the way: We don't always agree on
political beliefs.
There is one thing we all agree on - we all support Bend -La
Pine Schools'bond measure. We encourage our community
to vote YES in support of this bond measure to help keep our
schools safe, secure and ready for students to learn. We take
seriously the task of managing school district resources.
Salaries for staff, school supplies and related expenses are
paid for out of the Operating Budget, approved by state law-
makers. The state allocation does not fund major maintenance
projects (such as replacing leaky roofs) or new classroom ad-
ons. When those construction items are needed, we turn to
voters to approve bond measures to fund these projects.
Here are just a few reasons we support this bond:
• This bond includes key safety and security updates and
now is the time to make sure those happen across our
district.
• It's past time to modernize Bend Senior High School,
replace outdated buildings, and bring critical energy effi-
ciency and instructional updates to the 70-year-old facility.
• Thanks to careful planning, including refinancing of exist-
ing bonds to save millions of dollars, these projects can
be funded without increasing the current tax rate.
• Construction bonds sustain well -paying jobs in our
community.
This measure is about the future of our communib/. We believe
strong schools are an economic driver and make Central Or-
egon such a great place to live and raise a family.
Join us in voting YES in support of our schools.

Ballot Scanning &
Tabulation
After ballots are removed from
their envelopes, we scan the
ballots and count all the valid
votes to determine the results of
each contest in the election. Our
federally and state certified
voting system is secure and
never connected to the internet.
ORS 254.485, 254.500

Testing
We use election equipment that
is certified according to State
and Federal standards. We test
our election equipment before,
during, and after each election.
ORS 254.235
Step 8.
Ballot Adjudication
Teams of two staff, each of
different political parties, review
if ballots are damaged, have
stray marks, or have corrections,
undervotes, overvotes, and blank
contests to verify voter intent
and ensure accurate tabulation.
All ballots are stored in a secure
location under 24/7 surveillance.
ORS 254.476, 254.482, 254.483
Step 3.
Ballots Are Mailed
All registered voters are mailed
a ballot packet containing their
ballot and a postage -paid return
envelope that has a printed
security weave on the inside
that protects your privacy and
the secrecy of your vote. We
provide registered Uniformed
and Overseas Civilian voters
access to their ballots via mail
or online portal.

Ballot Collection
In Deschutes County, voters can
return their voted ballot by mail
or at one of our ten Official Ballot
Drop Site locations, conveniently
located throughout the county.
Drop Site ballots are collected,
and mailed ballots are received
at our Clerk's Office located in
the Deschutes Services Building
for ballot tabulation.

Step 5. Verify Voter
Eligibility
Upon receipt of your ballot, it is
sent through our ballot envelope
sorting machine, which scans an
image of your signature while
sorting your ballot by voting
precinct. Trained elections staff
verify your envelope signature
by comparing it to your
signature on file in the voter
registration database.
ORS 247.012, 247.019, 247.025,

Step 11.
Audit
Audits are a normal check and
balance that are part of every
election. We use audits to
confirm that election equipment
accurately interpreted and
tallied voters' ballots, that the
outcome of the election reflects
how voters voted, and that
election workers followed
procedures.
ORS 254.529
Step 6.
Processing Ballots
If your signatures match, your
ballot envelope moves on to be
opened. If they don't match, we
contact you by mail to resolve
the issue so we can count your
ballot. If a ballot is damaged or
contains machine -unreadable
marks, we flag it for manual
review. Our goal is to count all
eligible ballots as voters intend.
ORS 254.478
Step 12.
Ballot Storage
We securely store all paper
ballots and other records as part
of the official record for two
years. After two years, the
ballots are destroyed.
