Spokane County’s Marine
I am honored and privileged to have known Tim Fitzgerald for five years since he returned to settle in Spokane as a retired U.S. Marine Corps colonel with 30 years of service to our country. Tim has continued his commitment to public service as our county clerk for the past four and half years, resourcefully guiding the affairs of the second busiest office in county government.
Tim’s 30 years of experience in command and executive level staff positions have enabled him to substantially modernize the clerk’s office, making it very efficient and cost-effective. Furthermore, he provides all customers with a more user-friendly list of services including an electronic stamp and drop box for after-hours filing and establishing debit/credit card payment options.
My praises for Tim are overshadowed by the fact that his fellow statewide county clerks selected him as State County Clerk of the Year for 2017. I encourage all voters to re-elect Tim Fitzgerald as our Spokane County Clerk. He is making a huge difference.
