Stratton considers all views

Sat., Oct. 19, 2019

I encourage all voters in northwest Spokane to support Karen Stratton for City Council, District 3.

I have known Karen for over 25 years. She believes that all people matter and she works hard to improve and strengthen our neighborhoods. Karen listens, researches, mediates and moves forward with potential strategies to serve everyone. Most important, she shows up and she talks with people.

I have never known her to make decisions based solely on her own opinion. Rather, she takes the time to ensure that she has heard all points of view before making decisions or voting on important issues. Karen really exemplifies a City Council member who works for all the residents of northwest Spokane. She deserves your vote.
