Christy Watts will be an excellent addition to the Kennewick City Council. She will bring to the position an experienced and successful professional career and a record of leadership and volunteerism.

Christy’s professional experience in marketing, public relations and customer service will benefit the city and its residents. She will bring new energy, bright ideas and a different perspective to the council.

Her dedication and belief in her community are evident in the many worthy activities and organizations that she has given her time and energy to, including the Carousel of Dreams, The March of Dimes, the American Heart Association, The Benton Franklin Counties Developmental Disabilities Advisory Board and the Columbia Basin Veterans Coalition.
