Proudly Endorsed By

I urge Deschutes County residents to consider electing Ty Rupert as Deschutes County Sheriff where he is currently serving as our interim Sheriff , 25 years ago I met Ty while he was working in the private sector . Ty always acted in a professional manner while  exhibiting an honest common sense approach to whatever situation we were dealing with . When Ty left the private sector and began his career with law enforcement to serve our community he remained the same guy of integrity I had met years before , truthful , caring and doing the right thing for our community . Ty has the people skills , common sense and management knowledge to bring integrity to the Deschutes County Sheriffs office , please join me in keeping Ty Rupert as our Sheriff.

"As a longtime resident of Central Oregon and former Bend City Councilor, I know that effective public safety requires a leader with deep local roots and a clear vision for the future. That is why I am proud to endorse Ty Rupert for Deschutes County Sheriff.

Ty’s qualifications are exceptional. With over 20 years of service in the Sheriff’s Office, he has risen through every rank and understands the department from the ground up. His leadership is further strengthened by his background as a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and 15 years as a private-sector executive, ensuring he brings both tactical expertise and a commitment to fiscal responsibility.

What stands out most is Ty’s commitment to servant leadership. He is dedicated to rebuilding the brand of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office through transparency and integrity. Ty understands that public safety starts from within; by focusing on improving morale and supporting the well-being of his deputies, he ensures that this culture of service is carried out into the community, resulting in professional and respectful interactions with every resident.

Ty is a proven leader who values accountability and community partnership. He is the right choice to provide the steady, experienced leadership our county needs.

I hope you will join me in voting for Ty Rupert for Sheriff."

I am an acute care social worker in Deschutes County. I work, very hard, alongside folks and values the current administration works against. I do not vote on party lines, I vote for people who, to the best I can know, will put human decency above the profit of any monetary or political currency  (…a difficult ask today). I can say, with zero doubt, that Sheriff Rupert put people above profit this past year. I personally witnessed Sheriff Rupert, on site, day after day, in support and direction of finding the victims from the Dillion Falls tragedy in July / Aug 2025 He did not defer the hard questions the families were asking and he made himself available in person and over the phone to the victims’ families. I was in his office one day and saw two notes with phone numbers taped to his computer. It turned out these numbers were for the parents’ of unsolved cases. I’ll say with zero reservation my vote is behind Sheriff Ty Rupert.

Ty Rupert has my endorsement for Sheriff of Deschutes County. I have known Ty since 2013. Over the last 12 years Ty has always shown me to be an individual with high integrity. He cares deeply about his family and his community. He is exactly what Deschutes County needs right now, and we as residents are fortunate to have someone like him willing to step up in such a leadership role.
