Beggs brings leadership
We need to retain strong leadership in City Hall to continue to move Spokane in the right direction. Since joining the City Council, Councilman Breean Beggs has worked tirelessly to reduce property crime and improve our police department. I have also admired Breean’s efforts to promote safe routes to schools so that children throughout Spokane can make safe and healthy choices to walk or bike to school. Councilman Beggs has been a great partner to move the city’s agenda forward successfully in Olympia and make sure our local priorities are being addressed.
Together Breean and I have been working to provide greater dental access for some of our most medically fragile adults in our community, and I am confident our efforts will result in the building of a new community dental clinic in East Central. What is most impressive though, is his experience outside City Hall that he puts to work on behalf of the citizens every day. He has owned and managed his own small business, and has been an exceptional advocate for civil rights, Smart Justice and reducing poverty. Please join me in supporting a dedicated servant for our community and vote Breean Beggs for council.
