A real representative

Let’s elect a real representative for State Representative in the 6th LD. Zack Zappone will be at work every day, working to get a fair deal for all of us, improving our children’s education and getting health care done right.

He will not hold down another full time job for the county, like his opponent does. Mr. Volz receives over $90,000 a year as Chief Deputy Treasurer for Spokane County, and has a poor record for voting in the legislature and responding to stakeholder requests. Unlike his opponent, Zack will respond to his constituents and fight for their best interests. This will be his only job.

He will talk to us in person, by text or by email. He did this when my neighborhood association invited him to speak to us. His opponent didn’t even have the courtesy to respond to the invitation, much less talk to us. Mike Volz doesn’t deserve to hold this office, doesn’t need it, doesn’t do it, and must not be re-elected. Vote Zack Zappone for real representation.
