Vote for Personett

It is a pleasure for me to urge all voters in Fire District 9 to cast their ballot for Judy Personett for commissioner. Personett has been involved in the Spokane community for many years, and has a proven record of service, commitment and dedication to the citizens of Spokane County.

I looked up Fire District 9 on Google this morning and was impressed by the organization, the mission statement of “serving the public by providing efficient and effective protection of life and property,” and the many services provided by the dedicated firefighters who serve this area.

With Personett’s experience in serving the public in many ways, plus her organizational and business experience, she is a perfect fit for this position as a registered nurse who worked in Veterans Administration hospitals and the Spokane County Jail, nine years on the state Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission and her voluntary commitments as well. She has the experience and the commitment to be an excellent commissioner. She also works well with citizens from all walks of life.

Please vote for Judy Personett for Fire District 9 commissioner.
