Ann Parks is running to continue representing Ward 1 on the Pullman City Council, where she has served since 2016. Parks is an insurance representative for State Farm, and has held numerous leadership positions for organizations like United Way, Neill Public Library, and Whitman County Democrats.
Parks has not published a current policy platform as of October, but in the past, she has prioritized adding more public spaces and accessibility for people with disabilities downtown. Housing is also a priority for her - she supports creating attainable housing programs, and developing Pullman in a way that creates homes that every resident can afford. She additionally supports development that considers impacts on traffic and the environment.
In the past, Parks has supported expanding police and enacting stricter restrictions on marijuana businesses.
Challenging her is Folk musician Dan Maher. Maher was the host and producer of "Inland Folk," a long-running Spokane Public Radio show. He also worked at Washington State University (WSU) for over 40 years as a student advisor.
Maher admitted to an unprofessional relationship with a WSU student in 2018, when the student came forward with records of his romantically-laced text and inappropriate behavior. As a result of this, he was asked to retire early from WSU, and "Inland Folk" was dropped from the radio shortly afterwards.
Maher has not published a campaign website or any details about his policy priorities as of October.
Because of her years of experience in public service and her opponent's history of inappropriate behavior, Parks is the best choice for Pullman City Council in Ward 1.
