Benton-Franklin Counties
General Election - November 4
Candidate Meet and Greet were held in person this Fall!
Thanks to those candidates and community members who attended our Meet and Greet sessions in Richland, Kennewick and Pasco.
In fairness to all candidates who joined us, the decision has been made not to publish any of the recordings of the Meet and Greet events due to the poor sound quality in many of them. We miss our friends with NWPB and their quality work!
Please do your homework. Read the Voters' Pamphlet, visit candidate websites and if possible, meet the candidates in person.
Ballots will be mailed this week!

"Your Voice Matters -- If I could tell people just one thing about voting in local elections, it would be this: your voice has power—way more than you might realize."
Quoted from 2025 scholarship winner Eliza Kelly's essay.
"I believe that voting in local elections is crucial for shaping the community we live in, and it’s essential to encourage citizens to register and participate. To persuade citizens to register and vote, I would focus on a few things: the impact of local decisions, the importance of community engagement, and the accessibility of the voting process."
Quoted from 2025 scholarship winner Kaylen Garza's essay.
