A rematch of a 2017 Pullman City Council race may be shaping up for this year.
The Executive Director of United Way of Whitman County Eric Fejeran has announced his candidacy for the seat held by Al Sorensen. Sorensen defeated Fejeran with 57% of the vote 4 years ago. Sorensen hasn’t announced yet if he is running for re-election this year.
Fejeran has lived in Pullman for 13 years. In his campaign announcement Fejeran says he believes Pullman needs to take a stronger leadership position in the county to resolve crises from housing cost and the pandemic. Fejeran believes local officials need legislative assistants and higher pay to handle these critical issues.
