Lockwood thoughtful, decisive

Fri., July 12, 2019

I’ve known and worked with Nikki Lockwood for about three years now. What impresses me most is how well she listens, encourages conversation, and then stands up and takes action. She’s often quiet. When she speaks, people listen to her clarity, insight and conviction.

We need Nikki’s voice on the Spokane School Board. She can help us create welcoming schools where our kids learn and discover who they can be in these fractious times. Nikki’s been a tireless advocate for better schools where everyone feels they belong. She knows we’re in a time of massive change and that our kids must be ready for a future none of us can see clearly.

Please join me in voting Nikki on to the Spokane School Board.
