Snyder a team-builder

Sun., Aug. 9, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

I am writing to support Jon Snyder’s candidacy for City Council.

I have known Jon since he was in school with my children. I know him to be a man of character, integrity and accomplishment. He has a deep commitment to Spokane; when he lived elsewhere, Jon never stopped singing the praises of his hometown. He and his wife, Heidi, returned here to raise their family, and since that time Jon has been engaged in the betterment of the community – as a parent, businessperson and volunteer.

Jon is bright, articulate and thoughtful. He’s a team-builder and a facilitator. He is exactly the sort of person we need in local government.

Please join me in voting for Jon Snyder for City Council District 2, Position 2.
