We are pleased to have the opportunity to vote for Ryan Brault, who is such a well-qualified candidate for the Pasco School Board.

Ryan has done his homework in becoming acquainted with the business of the Pasco School District and the particular challenges it faces in terms of growth and budget issues. He has not missed a school board meeting or workshop since he filed for office. He also spent many hours serving on the Multi-Track Year-Round Task Force, considering options for accommodating student enrollment, which is increasing at the rate of one elementary school per year.

Ryan understands business, having started his first one while still in high school. Currently, as a professional financial adviser, he is using his education and expertise as a volunteer member of the Pasco School District Citizens Budget Committee and also serves on the Vocational Building Committee, which oversees the building of a house by high school students every year. His leadership skills have been honed as a graduate of Leaderhip Tri-Cities and as a past president of the Pasco Chamber of Commerce

We appreciate his willingness to share his time and many talents in serving Pasco kids.

Ed Ray and Anne Hayden, Pasco
