Stuckart loves this city

Ben Stuckart is the real deal.

I’ve known Ben since elementary school, and he’s one of my best friends in the world. I can’t think of a better person to lead our city. He’s smart, dedicated, does his homework, knows the ins and outs of city government better than anyone, and has strong bipartisan support.

While his opponent relies on fear, misinformation and vague pronouncements (not to mention all that outside PAC money), Ben’s plan for the city is based on years of experience, careful research, our local data, and working in partnership with stakeholders.

Furthermore, he already has an impressive list of accomplishments since becoming our City Council president. Ben has always had a real, deep interest in government, community, and doing the research to find solutions. He loves this city, and his commitment to moving us forward is genuine.

I’m excited to vote for my friend Ben Stuckart for mayor of Spokane. He’s the real deal.
