Vote for a terrific trio

Moscow voters have an opportunity to elect three amazing women to serve on our City Council. If there were only two, they would be ‘the dynamic duo’, but there are three, so ‘the terrific trio.’ All three have a long history of public service in Moscow and are strong advocates for maintaining our quality of life here. They support inclusion of all people, embrace diversity, and want to promote smart, sustainable growth in Moscow. They each bring different perspectives to the council, based on their experience:

Maureen Laflin’s experience leading the U.I. Law School Legal Aid Clinic, doing social work and conflict resolution has required serious listening skills and thoughtful synthesis of solutions. Sandra Kelly’s experience on many boards (Humane Society, 1912 Center, League of Women Voters, etc.) gives her perspective on a wide variety of issues. Anne Zabala’s experience on the council since 2017 has shown how serious she is about soliciting feedback from the public and making data-driven decisions on our behalf.

I encourage voters to select these three for Moscow City Council when voting at the Latah County Fairgrounds on Nov. 5 or now at the Latah County Court House.
