Put Snyder to work in Olympia
I am writing in support of Jon Snyder for 3rd Legislative District. Jon is one of the hardest-working people I have met, and as a small business owner and elected official, he has a track record to prove it. Jon also has a generosity of spirit toward Spokane that is hard to match.
When I first started working with Jon back in 2005, I was impressed by his passion and energy for Spokane. Our discussions often centered around how we could make Spokane a better place. It has been heartening to see Jon turn that talk into reality. It is rare to find a person that feels so strongly about their hometown, but even more unusual to find someone that has the intelligence, vision and capacity to follow through.
Over the years I have seen Jon give generously of his time and expertise toward business start-ups seeking his advice, and to numerous public events. Jon was instrumental in the start-up of my local business. He inspired me with his can-do attitude, and regularly gave me professional advice and support. Jon Snyder makes time for Spokane. I look forward to seeing him work for Spokane at the state level.
