Bend City Councilor Jodie Barram challenged Debone, but came up short.

DeBone is encouraged by the results.

"Well, I'm honored to be the county commissioner for all of Deschutes County.  You know we do work hard to provide cost effective services to everyone.  It's been a heck of a year running for office and I can't thank my supporters enough and all the people who voted for me for county commissioner."

Bend City Councilor Jodie Barram left her seat on the Bend City Council to run for county commissioner against incumbent Tony DeBone.

"You know I had hoped for a different outcome in my race, but I am so proud of my campaign team.  We ran a great race.  We kept it positive, we kept it honest. Though I'm disappointed in the outcome, it's very tempered by the fact we ran a phenomenal campaign."
 

Barram says she has a Bend City Council meeting Wednesday night and will serve on the council until the end of the year.  She says then she'll decide how she will continue to serve the public.
