Stuckart best for city

As a volunteer with Communities in Schools during my year off between high school and college, I had the opportunity of getting to know Ben Stuckart.

Ben started as a business leader with TicketsWest and then became the executive director of Communities in Schools. Ben is someone with unique experience in the business world as well as in the nonprofit sector.

As someone who grew up in Spokane and graduated from Gonzaga University, I believe he knows the values of the people of Spokane. He also has the experience of successfully operating a budget responsibly.

As a graduate of Ferris High School in 2008 and someone who plans to live in Spokane for a long time, I want someone like Ben Stuckart to be representing the city that I call home.

Finally, with a mother who works in a downtown church, I have seen the unrealized potential of our city. I think that Ben realizes the opportunity that downtown Spokane represents for improving our city and making it more vibrant. It is because of his vision that I believe Ben Stuckart will be a great City Council president.
