Nadine will restore Spokane

Recently, I met mayoral candidate Nadine Woodward. She articulated her positions in a well thought out manner that showed her awareness of Spokane’s issues including homelessness, streets and the downtown mess. We are a great city that will need a strong and informed mayor that can effectively communicate and work with others to solve these problems. Nadine impressed me not only as a passionate advocate for Spokane but as a candidate who has the ability to make tough decisions that strengthen our city and increase public safety.

I have been so concerned since returning to the Spokane area, the city seems to be in such disrepair. I lived in Africa during my 15 years away from the Northwest and I feel the roads here in Spokane are very comparable to those in a developing country. I am somewhat embarrassed when we have out of town guests come to visit our great city of Spokane.

Thank you for hearing my heart felt cry to make this a great city again, I really believe Nadine Woodward will make a difference.
