While touring what soon will become Bend’s largest affordable housing complex, gubernatorial candidate and former Rep. Tina Kotek, D-Portland, saw potential for the rest of the state.
“If Bend can do it, other places can do it,” Kotek said.
On Thursday, Kotek made her first stop in a two-day campaign tour through Central Oregon at Stillwater Crossing, a 240-unit affordable housing complex currently being built in south Bend off U.S. Highway 97.
