Haynes a true servant-leader
It is vital that the members of City Council represent the dynamic needs of our great city, and I believe Jerrall Haynes is the candidate best equipped to do just that for the northeast district.
Jerrall is a passionate advocate who supports local youth through personal mentorship, working directly with some of our cities most at-risk youth at Excelsior Wellness Center as well as serving on the Spokane Public Schools board of directors.
As someone who works in education, I know that strong and lasting progress always begins with children, and one of the things I have come to admire most about Jerrall is that he is a man of action. He listens intently, with a strong desire to act on the information he receives. He seeks out new ideas and different perspectives, weighs the alternatives, considers possible outcomes and develops reasonable solutions. He is a true servant leader – approachable, engaged and genuinely committed to the growth of people and building community.
Please vote Jerrall Haynes for Spokane City Council District 1.
