Pasco council appoints Abel Campos as at‑large councilor after candidate interviews
Summary
Following interviews with six finalists, the City Council appointed Abel Campos to the at‑large council seat by a 4–2 vote and administered the oath of office.
After a publicly noticed interview process that included six finalists, the Pasco City Council voted to appoint Abel Campos to the at‑large council seat.
Council conducted standardized interviews with each candidate, asking the same set of questions about equity and engagement, budget priorities, public safety, growth and the at‑large role. The council then held an executive‑session deliberation and returned to public session to take a vote. Council member Morales moved to appoint Abel Campos; the motion carried 4–2 on the roll call and Campos was sworn in and took the oath of office.
Campos is to serve until the next scheduled election in 2027. The council and staff thanked all finalists for participating in the process.
Next steps: Campos took the oath and formally filled the at‑large seat; staff will complete administrative steps to seat him on council committees as appropriate.
