Allen’s what city needs

The Spokesman-Review

In response to Linda McHenry’s letter to the editor (Oct. 27), I am a local Realtor, born and raised in Spokane, and am proud to have my business in Spokane, which is why I am supporting Mike Allen. The Quality of Life PAC mentioned in McHenry’s letter is not funded by “a real estate organization out of Olympia” but by local Realtors from across the state, including Spokane, that have a passion for Realtor issues like affordable housing and private property rights.

As a Spokane citizen and as a local Realtor, I believe our local economy, job creation and preserving parks are just a few things that make Spokane such a wonderful place to live. Mike Allen sees that too and values our local quality of life. He is a leader who has proven his integrity as well as his firm support of our local economy, things that are important for me and other people who do business in Spokane. We as a community are working hard for progress. A vote for Mike is a vote for Spokane.
