WSU alumni Eduardo Castaneda
cast his name into the running for council in Quincy, Washington, but withdrew from the race in the best interests of the town.
Castaneda said there are seven of the council seats in Quincy up for election this year, and he was running for position number four.
He wanted to make an impact in his community and create opportunities for the town that he did not have growing up, such as recreational activities like sports, he said.
“Our town gets very cold in the winter and there’s a lot of ice everywhere. For decades, my town has been thinking about and planning an indoor sports facility,” he said. “We’re trying to build a sports facility for our youth community, and I’m also trying to improve our parks [and] build bike lanes.”
