Keller is refreshing
I attended Larry Keller’s campaign kick-off in Cheney last week, and for the first time in a very long time I am excited about supporting a candidate. Over the years I have become so disenchanted with our political system, including the incivility and the insincere “I’ll-give-you-everything-you-want” promises that now characterize our election campaigns.
It is so refreshing to have somebody like Larry Keller, who is a gentleman and a leader who knows how to get things done. I don’t want a politician anymore; I want a leader.
I’m pretty confident nobody can match Larry’s diverse and extensive leadership experience. He is a retired U.S. Air Force colonel who led Fairchild Air Force Base as the wing’s vice commander. After retirement, he became a school teacher and advanced to his current position as superintendent of the Cheney School District.
He fully understands all of the key West Plains and Spokane issues that are regularly in the headlines. Larry has proven time and time again - in the face of difficult national security challenges as well as complex education issues - that he is the right leader for the job. I encourage you to check out Larry Keller’s track record and join me in electing him as state representative.
