Nine people are already running for three positions on the Douglas County Board of Commissioners, in the May 2026 Primary Election.
The filing period opened September 11th. Incumbent commissioners Tim Freeman, Chris Boice and Tom Kress all filed for re-election on the first day they could file.
Freeman is being challenged by frequent candidate for office, Brandy Stone who lists her occupation as customer service and sales. A second hopeful is Lorrie Wick, business owner and self-employed consultant for Lorrie Wick Community & Workforce solutions.
Boice is facing Andrew Rosales, who is retired from the U.S. military, and by insurance adjuster Steve Hammerson, who is currently on the Roseburg School District Board of Directors.
Kress’s challengers are Devlan Sorensen, who lists his occupation as blaster, and Nicholas Mitchell whose filing indicates that he is a lead UX and product designer in the banking industry.
Candidates who receive 50 percent of the vote plus one in the primary, automatically are the winner of their race. If no candidate achieves that percentage, the top two candidates face off in the November General Election. The filing period for the primary closes on March 10th.
No one has yet filed for the office of county assessor or county surveyor.
