Marion County Commission Races Tighten as Republican Incumbents' Leads Shrink to 764 and 518 Votes
Unofficial results released by Marion County, Oregon, on the evening of Nov. 6 showed both county commission races tightening further. In District 1, Republican incumbent Kevin Cameron leads Democratic challenger Sara Duncun with 47,983 votes (50.36%) to 47,219 (49.56%), a margin down from 1,009 to 764. In District 2, Republican incumbent Colm Willis leads Democratic challenger Maria Hinojos Preece with 47,682 votes (50.22%) to 47,164 (49.68%), a margin down from 765 to 518. Of the 7,348 ballots added on Nov. 6, Democrats gained about 3.4 percentage points in both races. The county has counted 97,699 ballots so far, with about 43,800 of the 141,508 received ballots still uncounted. Clerk Bill Burgess said the next results will be released on the evenings of Nov. 9 and 10, with certification required by Nov. 30; voters with signature issues must cure them by Nov. 24. The slow count is partly tied to a ballot-envelope sorter failure of about six hours on election night; no Democrat has won a Marion County commission seat since 1976. The Keizer City Council District 6 race is also close, with Daniel Koehler leading his opponent 4,660 to 4,594, a margin of 66 votes.
