Time for Tom
Spokane needs Tom McGarry. He will be a legislator guided by data and science. As Tom says, “serious times call for serious people” and Tom is experienced and serious. Tom is an attorney whose specialty is housing; a fire commissioner who has experience with the environment, public safety, and health care.
Tom has worked with neighbors at the West Central Community Center, expanding its services. He is serious about doing what is best for the 6th Legislative District and all of Spokane. The decisions that will be made in Olympia in 2021 will be especially tough as the Washington legislature faces the issues that have arisen due to the pandemic.
Housing, health care, education, public safety, and the environment are all such issues that are even more complicated because of what the state, the country and the world are now experiencing. Spokane needs to send legislators who are up to the task ahead. Tom is. Vote for Tom!
