Bend businessman announces bid for Wyden's Senate seat Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Feb. 5, 2016 at 10:41 AM By The Associated Press Posted Feb. 5, 2016 at 10:41 AM » Social News BEND — A Bend businessman is looking to take U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden's job. The Bulletin reports that 67-year-old Sam Carpenter has joint the race for the Republican nomination to challenge Wyden this fall. Carpenter has owned the Bend-based telephone-answering service Centratel since 1984. He has also written two books on business management, worked as a consultant and founded a charitable organization to assist victims of a 2005 earthquake in Pakistan. He has not previously held elected office. Carpenter says his work helping small businesses turn around would be an asset in Washington, D. C. Carpenter is the fourth candidate to enter the race for the Republican nomination. He joins Lane County Commissioner Faye Stewart, 2014 Senate candidate Mark Callahan and Dan Laschober, a Wilsonville software and finance consultant. Wyden, a Democrat, has been in the Senate since January 1996.
