Following the primary election, the top-two candidates are Democrat Nick Brown and Republican Pete Serrano. Both candidates were interviewed separately by the editorial board.

Serrano has served on the Pasco City Council since 2018 and currently serves as mayor of the southeast Washington city of 80,000. Previously he was an environmental attorney with the U.S. Department of Energy in its oversight of the Hanford Site cleanup and also worked with Energy Northwest’s nuclear project there. Serrano earned his law degree from the Florida Coastal School of Law, earning advanced training in environmental law from Vermont Law School.

Brown’s resume includes time as the U.S. Attorney for Western Washington, general counsel for Gov. Inslee’s office, a judge advocate general for the U.S. Army and a partner in a Seattle law group. His law degree is from Harvard Law School. Brown earned a Bronze Star during his service in Iraq in 2005.
