Hattenburg’s track record of support

It is without reservation that I endorse Tim Hattenburg for the Spokane Valley City Council.

Tim has spent his life supporting our community through his involvement as a board trustee for the Spokane County Library Board; as a retired teacher, coach and athletic director with the Central Valley School District; as 4-H adviser; and many other volunteer positions within the Valley.

Tim has a lifelong record of integrity, caring and thoughtfulness - traits very much needed when representing the electorate. He has a commitment to public safety, maintaining and improving our infrastructure and common-sense approach to economic development.

I believe Tim has an ideal background and proven track record of making contributions wherever he has served. His personal and thoughtful approach to leadership will be of great value when working with other council members and for the residents of the Spokane Valley.
