Jim Joss

A candidate for Commissioner Pos. 1, Spokane County Fire District 8 in the 2015 Nov. 3 Washington General Election

Age: 55

City: Spokane, WA

His words: “I have a huge issue with a chief from Fire District 1 (Spokane Valley Fire Department) making policy decisions for both District One and District Eight – that’s nearly unethical. It’s one of the main reasons why I’m running.”

His Pitch: “I bring a citizen point-of-view and a business-owner point-of-view to the board. It’s been interesting to learn how government works; I want the poor little taxpayer to have a say on the commission.”

Notable Experience: Owns Joss Enterprises, a systems management business. Volunteer firefighter with District 8 for more than ten years.

Education: Attended Spokane Falls Community College.
