Pasco mayor resigns to become interim U.S. attorney

Pasco’s mayor resigned last month to serve as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Washington, and the search is on to replace him. 

Pete Serrano was sworn in as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District on Aug. 11, according to a release from the Spokane-based U.S. Attorney’s office. He was appointed by Attorney General Pam Bondi on Aug. 6.

He will supervise the prosecution of all federal crimes and the litigation of all civil matters in the Eastern District of Washington and lead a staff of about 79 prosecutors, civil litigators and support personnel across Eastern Washington.

“I’m grateful and humbled by the confidence and trust extended to me by President Trump and Attorney General Bondi through this appointment. I’ve been blessed to serve the people of Pasco for the past eight years, and now, I look forward to serving the citizens of Eastern Washington,” Serrano said in a statement.

Serrano was up for reelection to the Pasco council for the District 4 seat in November and was running unopposed. The council will have 90 days to fill his seat for the remainder of his term, which ends Dec. 31.

The council then will have to conduct another appointment process to finish out the seat’s term through Dec. 31, 2028. 

David Milne is Pasco’s new mayor.
