We are very pleased to let you know that Kim Bradford, a longtime journalist in Tacoma and the Tri-Cities, has joined the Public Disclosure Commission's management team as the Director of Communications & Outreach.

Kim has been a journalist for more than 20 years, and comes to the PDC from serving as the state and local news editor at The (Tacoma) News Tribune. She was previously on the News Tribune's editorial board and served as its political editor. Before joining The News Tribune she was the editorial page editor, an editorial writer and a reporter for the Tri-City Herald.

We are excited to be bringing on a communications professional of Kim's caliber and breadth of expertise in journalism, with many years covering campaigns and politics. She will lead our efforts to provide more transparency and to provide more people easy access to vital information about public officials, candidates, lobbyists and campaign financing. She will play a key role in helping us continue to streamline the rules, make it easier for the regulated community to understand what the law requires and how best to be in compliance, as well as take the helm of our customer service team that the regulated community turns to for assistance day in and day out.

Please join us in welcoming Kim!
