Stuckart has a fresh vision

Sun., Sept. 11, 2011

In today’s challenging times, we need visionary leaders for our city who will look to the future and think outside the box.

In the race for City Council president, we’re blessed with two quality candidates: one with political experience and the other a newcomer to politics.

Sometimes it takes someone with a new viewpoint to shake things up and be a catalyst for change.

I support Ben Stuckart for City Council president. He’s smart and hard-working, and he will help us grow the overall economy of Spokane so that we can tackle tough issues and solve problems without cutting spending or raising taxes.
