As a committed community leader, international trade attorney, mother, startup tech CEO, former U.S. diplomat and longtime Bellevue resident, Pradnya Desh is ready to serve our city with integrity, care, and results.
I’m Pradnya Desh. I'm running for Bellevue City Council because I believe Bellevue deserves smart, ethical leadership that solves real problems, protects opportunity, and plans wisely for the future.
With 17 years of service to Bellevue — as a business attorney, non-profit Board Chair, volunteer, and Governor-appointed Trustee of Bellevue College — I have worked to strengthen economic mobility, educational opportunity, and environmental sustainability. Now, I’m ready to bring that commitment to the Bellevue City Council. Together, we can build a Bellevue that is more affordable, better connected, safer, and more sustainable — without losing the spirit of innovation and community that makes Bellevue extraordinary.
