She is pro-business

As a business owner and employer in Spokane for over 30 years, it’s important to have elected officials who are sensitive to the concerns of citizens. This, as well as understanding that for a city to grow it must have a strong business community as well. That is why I was pleased when Nancy McLaughlin announced she was seeking the state Senate.

I have followed her efforts as a Spokane City Council member, and I am convinced she will continue her common-sense approach as a state senator. She has that rare ability to recognize that the needs of the citizens are the same as the business owners. All people need jobs! Therefore, she is the best choice for all in the 3rd Legislative District.

I urge you to vote for Nancy McLaughlin. Pro-people and pro-business.
