Wendle the clear choice

Spokane’s primary election is August 6 – and it’s important to the economic future and livability of our city. Here’s why.

In the race for Spokane City Council President there are two familiar candidates with views at the polar ends of political ideology. They just do not fit the needs of our community.

Fortunately, there’s another choice. Cindy Wendle for City Council President. She is a local businesswoman and consensus builder with years of experience bringing stakeholders together. She’s a mom of three boys, and a volunteer with many notable nonprofits.

Cindy got in this race because she wants to put people first – not advance a personal, political, or special interest agenda. She’ll bring practical solutions and get Spokane moving in the right direction.

Cindy is running for Council President because the people of Spokane need and deserve a fresh choice in this race. A choice for common sense, for priorities based on people, not politics, and a leader to champion public safety like the priority it is for all of our families.

Join me in voting for Cindy Wendle for Council President in Spokane on Tuesday, August 6.
