Beggs for new ideas

It’s rare in this day and age when you get a chance to vote for a nonpolitical candidate for public office. But Breean Beggs is just that. Beggs is as honest as you will find, and only works to solve the problems of our broken and expensive criminal system. Beggs is a leader in our region on “Smart Justice,” a proactive system of dealing with crime and criminals before they commit crimes. Many of our problems come from mental health and social issues that can be fixed for much less money than reactive policing.

Our local safety and criminal system has been falling apart with high costs and poor management. If you vote for the current leaders, you will get the same terrible service. Or you can vote for Beggs, and get effective and affordable policing and safety.

Your choice is for Smart Justice with Breean Beggs for Spokane County prosecutor, or the same old ideas that don’t work.
