Jones a fresh voice

Sun., Oct. 30, 2011

Another election year is upon us and we have the opportunity to make positive choices for our city. I am asking fellow citizens in the 3rd District to join me in supporting Joy Jones for City Council.

Unlike her opponent, Joy was born and raised in Spokane. She has a degree in urban planning and understands the importance of infrastructure. She is a huge advocate of public safety. She also lives in the West Central neighborhood, and is an active volunteer at Holmes Elementary.

She will be a fresh voice and will listen to all citizens’ concerns. Please join me in voting Joy Jones.
