Dunau is insightful

Over the past few months Spokane has heard much discussion over the issue of homelessness. From basalt rock dumped under the I-90 bridge to debate in council chambers. Homelessness is a complex problem that needs the understanding and insight of a community leader like Andy Dunau. He is someone who cares about people, listens to both sides and strives for balance.

This is not a time for an “us and them” mentality. Rather than watching from afar, join Dunau in being part of a city where we are all responsible for each other. Guided by people like Dunau, make this an opportunity to move forward together; continuing to make Spokane a positive place to live.

Electing Andy Dunau to Spokane City Council will strengthen our city. With his background in business and community work, we will have a leader that is insightful, not fearful.
