Endorsements
Backed by the people Bend counts on.
Bend's trusted voices know what real results take, because they've delivered them, and they trust Elana to do the same on the council.
“Bend needs leaders who understand how budgets work, how housing actually gets built, and how to deliver real results, not just talk. Elana has that experience and the seriousness this moment calls for. She understands the needs of everyday families and the stresses on their wallets. I'm proud to endorse her for Bend City Council.”
Rep. Emerson Levy
Oregon State Representative, House District 53
Elected Officials
Sample Endorser
Deschutes County Commissioner
“Elana does her homework and tells you what things actually cost, not just what's easy to hear. On a council that has to balance real budgets and hard trade-offs, that's exactly the kind of judgment Bend needs right now.”
Sample Endorser
Oregon State Representative
“Elana shows up prepared, asks the hard questions, and knows how to turn good intentions into real results. She understands how budgets and partnerships actually work, and Bend will be far better governed with her on the council.”
Organizations
Central Oregon Sample Coalition
Local labor & housing advocacy organization
“Elana has shown up for working families on housing and childcare for years, long before this campaign. We trust her to keep fighting for the missing-middle homes and the childcare that let working people actually stay in Bend.”
Sample Small Business Alliance
Bend small-business group
“As a former business owner, Elana knows what it takes to make payroll and keep the doors open. She'll cut the permitting delays that hold local employers back and treat Bend's small businesses like the backbone of the economy they are.”
Community Leaders
Sample Community Leader
Local small-business owner

Sample Community Leader
Bend teacher & parent
“Elana understands that families like mine are getting priced out of the city we love, and unlike most candidates, she has an actual, specific plan to build the homes that keep teachers and young families here.”
