Demand that Shea debate

Tue., Sept. 9, 2014

The 4th Legislative District of Spokane County has a problem. We have an excellent candidate, Josh Arritola, running against the sitting state representative. We need someone in the 4th who is present to the district. Whose priority is the district?

Josh Arritola has not been able to get Rep. Matt Shea to have a debate. Many dates have been set, but Shea continues to make excuses and backs out. Why would that be? He has time to take trips to Idaho and Utah for militia-type activities but has no time to meet face-to-face in a debate with Arritola.

I am calling on all voting residents of the 4th District to contact Shea and demand a debate.
