Both the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama campaigns opened field offices in Bend this week, with the doors for each post opening less than a day apart.
Obama’s office opened Monday with an open house and potluck at his Central Oregon headquarters located at 373 NE Greenwood (just across 3rd Street). Clinton’s office is set to open Tuesday at 6 p.m. at its location of 2146 NE 4th Street (behind Wagner Mall). The two offices are separated by less than a mile.
These are the first official campaign offices in Central Oregon for each of the Democratic presidential contenders. Volunteers and staff at the offices will work both city streets and local telephone numbers campaigning for their candidate.
Oregon’s primary will take place May 20, with ballots going in the mail May 3.
Both campaign headquarters will be seeking local volunteers to help each respective cause.
