Your Guide to the 2025 Vote for Business: Where Local Candidates Stand on Business Issues

​In each election cycle, voters are faced with important decisions that shape the future of our communities. For those who care about the health and success of our local economy, having the right information is critical. That’s why the Tri-City Regional Chamber of Commerce publishes the Vote for Business Guide — the only voter guide in the Tri-Cities that focuses specifically on business issues.

The 2025 edition of the Vote for Business Guide is now available, featuring responses from candidates running for local office in Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, and West Richland. This year’s guide highlights how candidates view the role of their office in supporting small businesses, encouraging job growth, and removing barriers to economic development. Each candidate was asked to respond to four key questions reflecting real challenges and opportunities for businesses in the region.

The Chamber does not endorse candidates. Instead, this guide serves as an informational tool to help voters better understand where candidates stand on business-related topics. By focusing on business policy and economic development, the Vote for Business Guide provides clarity on which candidates are ready to tackle the issues that matter most to local employers, employees, and entrepreneurs.

Whether you are a business owner, employee, or simply a voter who cares about economic prosperity, we encourage you to explore this year’s guide and become an informed participant in the upcoming election. Your vote matters, and so does the future of our business community.
