Two Marion County commissioner races remain closely contested as election officials continue processing ballots from the November 3 general election.
Unofficial results reported November 9 show Republican Kevin Cameron holding a narrow lead over Sara Duncan in the Marion County Commissioner Position 1 race.
The latest reported figures show Cameron with approximately 58,616 votes, or 50.3%, compared with Duncan’s 57,803 votes, or 49.6%.
That represents a margin of just 813 votes.
The Position 2 race is also being closely watched, with Republican Colm Willis leading Maria Hinojos Pressey in the unofficial results.
The outcomes are important for local government decisions involving county services, public safety, transportation, land use and the county budget.
Election results remain unofficial until the county completes its ballot processing and certification procedures.
Residents can follow updated results through the Oregon Secretary of State’s election reporting system and Marion County Elections.
