John Ahern is a very hard-working man who will make a wonderful addition to the Spokane City Council. With more than twice as much legislative experience than his opponents combined, Ahern is a very capable legislator.

Ahern was able to get two important bills passed through an entrenched opposition party Legislature and signed into law by an opposition party governor. This feat can’t be accomplished without drive, determination and considerable negotiation skills, a salient fact The Spokesman-Review editorial board neglected to mention when they did not endorse Ahern for City Council.

Spokane City Council District 2 needs a legislator who will serve the people of Spokane and can get the job done without the current amount of City Council bickering.

Please join me and support and vote for John Ahern for City Council.
