Elect May Hays

A Proven Leader of the West Richland Neighborhood

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
– President John F. Kennedy


I have dedicated 30 years of community leadership to West Richland, including small business ownership. Now, I am running for Mayor to ensure transparency, accountability, and prosperity for our growing city.

I am a native Tri-Citian, attending school in Pasco, including Columbia Basin College, where I received an Associate of Arts degree. I have lived and owned businesses in West Richland since 1997. After 25 years working as a Community Relations Operations Specialist for Benton REA and serving as the Executive Director of the West Richland Chamber of Commerce, I retired. During this time, I also owned two local businesses: May's Fresh Express & Catering and The Mayfield Gathering Place & Gardens.

Currently, I serve on the West Richland City Council. I am the Founder/President of Operation We Care Tri-Cities, a local non-profit organization that supports our Veterans, first responders, senior citizens, and our schools.

I am a very proud mother of three grown adults, seven grandchildren, two dogs, and three grand-dogs!

My passion is serving our West Richland community. And as YOUR Mayor, I will ensure transparency, accountability, and prosperity for our growing city in all areas.
