Statement

I'm Nancy Aldrich, a proud West Richland resident of 39 years. I’ve raised my family here and spent decades working to make our city a place we're proud to call home.

With prior service on the West Richland City Council, Meals on Wheels, the Benton Clean Air Agency and a career in construction, stormwater policy and waters rights in the City of Richland Public Works Department, and while on the Planning Commission, I bring proven experience and a practical insight to the table.

As West Richland continues to grow, we must plan strategically to protect the strong, close-knit community we value. I will prioritize thoughtful infrastructure improvements, public safety, a much-needed community center and smart development that enhances - not overwhelms - our way of life. We have a tremendous opportunity to enhance the entrance to the city and capitalize on proximity to Red Mountain AVA. With the right vision, we can support local businesses, attract new businesses, attract tourism, and grow fiscally responsibly while preserving the charm that defines West Richland.

I'm ready to get to work - with experience, commitment, and a deep love for our community. I'd be honored to earn your vote.

Nancy Aldrich
