PASCO, Wash. – Pasco City Councilwoman Melissa Blasdel has announced her intent to seek election for District 6.
Currently serving in the position since her appointment in 2023, Blasdel emphasized the need for leaders who understand local needs.
“I’m running to be that voice for District 6—one that puts safety, opportunity, and quality of life at the forefront,” Blasdel said in a release.
Blasdel said her campaign priorities include advocating for fully staffed police and fire departments, fostering small business growth and promoting smart revitalization of downtown Pasco.
“Pasco has the culture, location, and talent to be a destination—not just for travelers, but for opportunity,” Blasdel added.
With over two decades in tourism and hospitality, Blasdel was appointed to the District 6 seat that was vacated when Councilmember Craig Maloney resigned on October 2, 2023.
Her term expires December 31, 2025.
