Stuckart is best for Spokane

Sun., Aug. 4, 2019

Ben Stuckart is a colleague, mentor and friend. I have worked with him for almost eight years and have found his leadership to be nothing but insightful and forward-thinking, with the best intentions for the future of Spokane at heart. His policies have a clear vision for where the city should go in order to have a sustainable future.

Ben believes in the city staff and treats everyone equally, with honesty and respect. He is the only candidate I trust in this race who understands the full needs of the city and has a true knowledge of the city charter, and the only one I feel comfortable guiding the city forward.

I urge you to vote for Ben so he may continue his work on behalf of Spokane.
