CAMPAIGN BUZZ

My name is Kim Lehrman and I’m running to be your next City of Pasco Councilmember, Position 7! I have called Pasco my home for over two decades. I was raised on my family’s farm where I learned hard work comes before play and to value family. After chores were done, we would drive into town to visit my grandma who lived a few houses down from the historic Moore Mansion.  As a child I learned that work got done quicker when all hands felt valued and worked together. I attended Washington State University, where I met my husband Scott and graduated to become an Agriculture Educator and FFA Advisor. I put myself through college to raise up the future agriculturist and our community leaders. I served over a thousand students from East to West Pasco during my years as an Ag. Teacher in the classroom and beyond the classroom walls. However, after 12 years I left teaching to stay home with my young growing family. While home with my four children, I chose to find another way to serve my students by focusing on improving my community.

I chose to fight for our students in our schools. I used my science degree to organize science fairs and served as parent chair on Action Team for Partnership (ATP) and volunteered over the years on Pasco School District’s Long-Term Facility Management Plan. I have also volunteered in grass-roots organizations to support local school levies and bonds that paid for school student enrichment activities. I volunteer to serve hundreds of young athletes as their soccer, volleyball, and basketball coach throughout the years. I have returned to teaching at a local high school where I teach young minds the importance of Financial Literacy as well as career readiness skills. I currently serve on Pasco’s Planning Commission and enjoy listening to our community members’ concerns, collaborating with the other commissioners in partnership with the city staff as we take on complex issues of planning affordable housing, infrastructure, and economic development.

I am running for Pasco City Council because I believe that the people of Pasco deserve a council member who believes that the best way to lead is to listen to the people who live in our city and then act accordingly. If elected, I will collaborate with the other council members, city staff, local county offices, Port of Pasco, and other Tri-Cities agencies as well as state and federal governments. I will listen with an open mind to the citizens, invite diverse voices and form my decisions based on what is best for ALL of Pasco. As a teacher, a former FFA member, and an active community leader, I know how to build consensus and make others feel heard. If elected, I will work to make sure that the City of Pasco honors the values of its residents and honors its responsibility to them.

Local elected officials are public servants, not national political operatives; it's time to work together for the betterment of all of Pasco. As a child, I would often hear my father talk about the importance of teamwork. My father would stretch out his hand and explain that each finger on the hand was different but necessary to form a fist. With this example, he made sure that my brothers and I knew we were needed to accomplish the hard work before us. I am ready for the hard work and to contribute to the might of Pasco as we collaborate together to shape it for our future and future generations to come.
