Hession has experience

I’m confused. Do you want experience in an elected official or not? Apparently you do in Liberty Lake, given that you endorsed former mayor Steve Peterson for mayor (a great guy) over the younger council member Josh Beckett because of Peterson’s experience. In the city of Spokane, you reverse the opinion to favor the nice but very inexperienced Ben Stuckart over former City Council member, council president and mayor Dennis Hession, a man with a great deal of integrity and experience. The council, under Hession’s leadership as president, worked like a well-oiled machine.

I urge you to join me and vote for proven leadership, experience and for someone who has committed years to helping many individuals, businesses and nonprofit organizations in our community without seeking the limelight for doing so because it was always simply the right thing to do. Vote for Dennis Hession for City Council president.
