Snyder offers teamwork

The Spokesman-Review

Spokane’s best new opportunity? Jon Snyder, small business owner, community volunteer, independent voice, and candidate for Spokane City Council District 2, Position 2.

With politics run amok, it is high time we insist on a predominant system that actively practices cooperation and collaboration vs. the escalating competitive approach currently practiced by many in both parties. Tough assignment? Yes, but at the local level we have a chance for choreographing substantive change through capable, honest and impartial leadership.

Consider Jon Snyder. A candidate committed to providing all generations with the option to be heard, valued and renewed – he is prepared to hold himself and others accountable to ensure Spokane’s future through innovative guidance while honoring its remarkable past.

Upholding a long love affair with Spokane, Snyder offers common-sense hope and the tried-and-true practice of successful working relationships.

As founder and owner of the award-winning Out There Monthly magazine, developer and owner of a historic building near downtown, and co-founder and first board president of a local radio station, Snyder possesses unlimited energy, creativity and finely honed skills in critical thinking.

By seating Jon Snyder on our City Council, you and I can ratify positive, vital transformation for Spokane’s years to come.
