Schneider honorable, dedicated

Wed., Oct. 28, 2015

Those seeking public office tend to fall into one of several camps. Some seek self-aggrandizement. Others are ax grinders. Many people want to make a difference, but lack the necessary skills to do so, and a precious few are determined to use their hard-earned experience, intellect and natural talents simply to be of service to the community. Paul Schneider is one of these precious few.

Schneider has the tenacity to get things done, the moral compass to do what is right even when doing so would be against his personal interests, and the heart to fight for the welfare of every child.

As a member of our Spokane Public Schools board, Paul Schneider will be an honorable and dedicated leader.
