The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

I am Debra Callahan. I moved to Waitsburg almost 40 years ago with my husband, Jim. We have two sons and a daughter, and a deceased daughter Missy. Brian lives in Waitsburg and Bill, who lives in Selah, WA. He and his wife have two children, granddaughter, Kyrsten, a junior at Selah High and our grandson Daniel who attends Embry Riddle Aeronautics College in Prescott, AZ. TJ lives in Prescott and Maranda lives in Walla Walla with our granddaughter Arya.

Jim and I live on the property that Jim's great grandparents lived on, Hippy Heart Homestead, LLC. We raise chickens and donate over 200 dozen eggs a year to our local food bank. We also raise sustainably grown fruits and produce. Currently we are looking forward to the opening of our new venture, Millstone Café and Bakery on Main Street.

I truly care about this community and want to be your Mayor. We need fresh new ideas, new blood on council to bring a fresh approach to government. We have lived with the status quo for decades. We are not a healthy community, we need new ideas, new funding sources and a fresh approach to government which I will bring to the community.
