Stratton experienced, involved

Mon., Oct. 26, 2015

I was surprised and disappointed in the endorsements by The Spokesman-Review for Spokane City Council. My friend, Karen Stratton, is running for City Council in District 3. I have known Karen for many years. I’m convinced that she is the best choice, and one of the smartest people I have ever known.

I don’t know the person running against her except what I have read in the papers. I have never seen him at anything I have ever attended in Spokane, nor have I ever heard of a thing he has lead or helped in community service.

I trust Karen’s judgment and experience. Not only do I hope she wins, but ask for you to support her with your vote.
