Two reasons for Haskell

There are two strong reasons that Spokane County voters have to vote for Larry Haskell for Spokane County prosecutor:

The first is that Haskell represents a significant change from current administration, a change that is needed. My wife is a crime victim advocate with the prosecutor’s office and she has worked with Haskell for years. She sees him inside and outside the courtroom, always working his hardest to bring justice, with victims’ rights as one of his primary concerns. He would represent the most important change our county could make.

The second reason to vote for Haskell is that it is a terrible idea to hand the reins of the prosecutor’s office over to someone with no prosecutorial experience at all, despite claims to be “tough on crime.” On what basis are we to judge this claim? On Breean Beggs’ ability to be a good defense attorney for alleged perpetrators?

Haskell represents, by far, the very best option for prosecutor, regardless of your party affiliation. The smartest move is to vote for Larry Haskell.
