Dilworth said his support of both proposals could have impacted his campaign. In the other county commissioner race, Democrat Jay Dixon and Republican Don Gist locked up their date on the November ballot. Both ran unopposed during the primary, and they will face off in the general election to determine who succeeds Bob Adams on the commission. Adams is not seeking another term. Dixon is the owner of Corvallis True Value Hardware, and Gist is the owner of Donde's Floors to Go in Philomath.
Commissioners serve a four-year term.
