Tigard voters will choose between two candidates for mayor and pick three council members from a field of eight when ballots are due Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Ballots must be dropped at an official site by 8 p.m. or postmarked by Nov. 3, according to Your Oregon News. In Tigard, the drop site is City Hall, 13125 S.W. Hall Blvd. In Tualatin, it's the City Offices/Tualatin Public Library, 18880 S.W. Martinazzi Ave. No postage is required to mail the ballot.

Here is a race-by-race look at what's on the ballot.

Tigard mayor

Yi-Kang Hu is running for election to the seat he has held since being appointed in October 2025, according to a Valley Times election guide. He is challenged by Bill Monahan, a former Tigard city manager.

In a Your Oregon News Q&A, Hu said rising costs are the top issue and pointed to his record closing a $6.5 million budget shortfall. Monahan said the council lacks the leadership residents need, citing a $150 million facilities bond he called "poorly timed" and "overpriced" that voters rejected by more than 62%.

The two also split on next steps for Tigard police and public works facilities. Hu called for a citizen panel and public review before any new bond proposal. Monahan said the city should prioritize improving police facilities near the current downtown location and put public works on hold.

Tigard City Council

Eight candidates are competing for three at-large seats, meaning the top three vote-getters win. The candidates are Gabriel Elijio Velásquez, Yousef K. Allouzi, Kate Ristau, Jeff Darland, Sue Garino, appointed incumbent Tom Anderson, John Goodhouse and Shawne Martinez. Each seat carries a four-year term starting Jan. 1, 2027, according to the city's Cityscape newsletter.

Tualatin mayor

Two sitting councilors are competing for the mayor's seat. Octavio Gonzalez, first elected to council in 2022, faces Valerie Pratt, the council president first elected in 2020, according to Your Oregon News. Mayor Frank Bubenik is ineligible after reaching his term limit.

In a Q&A published by Your Oregon News, Gonzalez said the rising cost of local government is the biggest issue and that he has pushed back against increasing the financial burden on residents. Pratt identified housing affordability as the top concern, noting the median Tualatin home price is $640,000, double what the median household can afford.

On traffic, both candidates agreed congestion is a major challenge. Pratt said she would prioritize updating the city's traffic signal software and exploring options to reduce congestion at the rail crossing near Boones Ferry Road and Tualatin Sherwood Road.

The three remaining Tualatin council seats are uncontested. Incumbents Maria Antonieta Reyes and Bridget Brooks are running for reelection, and Beth Dittman is the sole filer for the Position 5 seat Gonzalez is vacating.

Durham

Durham voters will fill two City Council positions on the Nov. 3 ballot, according to the city's website. Candidate names were not available in the public record reviewed for this article.

Washington County Board of Commissioners

Two runoff races round out the local ballot. Commissioners Nafisa Fai and Pam Treece are running for board chair after no candidate won a majority in the primary. Steve Callaway and Kipperlyn Sinclair face off for the District 4 seat. Outgoing Chair Kathryn Harrington chose not to seek reelection.

Where to find results

Washington County will post its first results at 8 p.m. Tuesday, with updates at 10 p.m. and midnight, according to the county elections page. Additional updates are scheduled through Nov. 30, when certified final results are expected. Statewide results will be available at results.oregonvotes.gov.
