Vote for Wick

We would like to urge our fellow Valley voters to support candidate Ben Wick for Spokane Valley City Council. In the most positive sense, Ben is a true Valley citizen in every sense with ties to early homesteading days. He has spent much of his young life serving our community, working tirelessly for our betterment. He does not pander, nor does he seek media attention to further his personal or ideological agendas. He is solid, future-thinking and yet, as a business owner, he and his beautiful family are deeply rooted in our conservative values.

We hope that you will consider Ben Wick, as well as Linda Hatcher Thompson, Chris Jackson and Brandi Peetz. They are real, longtime Valley stakeholders, reflecting all that is the best of our special community: hardworking, no-nonsense, committed to wise governance and considerate of your tax dollars.

Dean and Elizabeth Grafos
