Condado de Whitman

Deb McNeil is running for mayor of Pullman to replace Glenn Johnson, who is retiring. She is a retired teacher in Pullman and she owned and operated the Quilted Heart downtown for 17 years. She is also a master gardener and serves on the board of the WSU Center for Civic Engagement.

McNeil wants to use her experience running a small business to attract and grow more retail options in the city. She is also committed to deploying a new comprehensive plan to guide the city's growth, including doing more to reduce the cost of housing for young professionals. McNeil is also focused on improving the city's water and sewer infrastructure and looking for ways to improve sustainability as the region grapples with water shortages.

McNeil is running against former city council member Francis Benjamin. He taught at WSU for 35 years and is the former president of the Association of Washington Cities. Benjamin wants to make Pullman a welcoming place to live as the city continues to grow. Benjamin also wants the city to do more to promote public and performing arts by creating an arts district and hosting festivals.

We recommend McNeil for mayor of Pullman because of her years of community engagement and strong endorsements.
