Council Appointment

Josh was elected in November 2024 and became involved in city government because "Hermiston is my home. I was born and raised here and I care about the future of the community. Additionally, I have worked in local government for my entire adult life. I have learned how government works from the employee’s view, and also as a department leader. I believe I can use the knowledge I have attained to help Hermiston continue to grow in a positive direction."

Why Josh thinks Life is Sweet in Hermiston

"Hermiston is a booming community that somehow keeps its small‐town charm. Nestled near the Columbia River and the scenic Blue Mountains, it’s a fantastic place to live, work, raise children, and just enjoy life."
