Funding
Lancon opted for mini reporting in this election, according to the Washington Public Disclosure Commission.[3] Candidates who opted for this had to keep a record of their contributors and expenditures, but were not required to report them. If they raised and spent more than $5,000 in aggregate or received more than $500 from any one contributor, including themselves, they would have had to switch their filing status from mini to full reporting.[4]

Lancon provided the following statement for the 2013 voters' pamphlet in Franklin County:[7]
| “ | For the past seven years it has been my honor and privilege to serve on the Pasco School District Board of Directors. I serve because I care deeply about the children of our community and I am committed to providing pathways to success for all of them. I serve because I am proud to support the employees of the District who work hard every day to give our children the best facilities, meals, transportation and education possible. This is an exciting time in Pasco as we further expand our Science Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) curriculum, preparing our students for college and for the high-demand jobs and careers that await them in our community and beyond, and I am excited to be part of it. I have a vested interest in the future of our schools because my grandchildren are Pasco students, like their parents and grandparents before them. I am proud to be a part of the tradition of excellence in education in Pasco. I am grateful that I live in a community that values and supports the education of our children. I would appreciate your continued support as we move forward together in support of our children.[8] | ” |
