Roskelley brings balance

I was disappointed, but not surprised, to see that you had endorsed Todd Mielke for District 1 Spokane County commissioner. I know John Roskelley personally, and know him to possess excellent leadership qualities. Roskelley will have a balanced approach to county government that we sorely need. With Roskelley, we will have someone in the county who will keep everyone’s interests in mind, not just developers or environmentalists. Roskelley will cry “wolf” at the right times, for instance when another Spokane raceway-like fiasco is proposed.

Roskelley has many years of experience under his belt running the county. Moreover, he knows how to run a business, having run a guide service, and has outstanding organizational skills acquired in the great outdoors leading teams through technically demanding excursions in the mountains. He is a charitable man with a generous heart. Roskelley is a man of integrity, and this shows through in his decision not to take campaign funds from the parties or special interests. That is because he cares about the citizens and the land, not big money.

Citizens of Spokane County, please join me in voting for John Roskelley for District 1 county commissioner.
