Pullman officials encouraging applicants for city council positions

The Pullman Chamber of Commerce seeks candidates for city council positions in wards 1, 2, and 3 ahead of the fall elections. Interested individuals must be registered voters and live in their respective wards to qualify. Candidate filings are due by 5 p. m. Friday at the Whitman County auditor’s office, with further details available on the auditor's website.

If more than two candidates apply for any office, a primary election will take place on August 5. The two candidates with the highest votes will progress to the general election scheduled for November 4. This initiative encourages local participation in governance and enhances representation in city council decisions. The chamber emphasizes the importance of civic engagement in shaping local policies and community welfare. This election cycle represents a critical opportunity for residents to influence local governance.
