Mumm for City Council

Sun., June 23, 2013

I am supporting Candace Mumm for City Council. It is rare to have a candidate with not only a successful business background but also a strong history of community involvement step up and run for public office. Spokane needs leaders who can study the issues, see the big picture and make sound policy and decisions to move our city forward.

As president of the Planning Commission, Candace worked with many different mayors to make sure Spokane had a viable plan for future development that provides for growth while protecting our environment. Candace understands city government.

Born and raised in Spokane, Candace cares deeply about our community and will be a great voice for all citizens on the City Council.
