The two local races have been hotly contested. In the contest for State Representative, Al-Abdradduh and Finger McDonald campaign supporters have swapped allegations questioning each other’s endorsements. In the primary for County Commissioner, Shepherd pointed to Irish’s acceptance of a $33,000 campaign contribution from the Board of Realtors, and Irish supporters questioned Shepherd’s record as a Corvallis City Councilor.
