Cris Kaminskas needs our vote

Cris Kaminskas needs our vote as mayor of Liberty Lake. In the short time that she has served as mayor she has streamlined City Hall operations and brought technology up to date … in other words, brought a fresh perspective of leadership during COVID.

She has been a fixture on the City Council for over 11 years and is intimately acquainted with the workings of the city. Her colleagues, who have worked with her for years, appointed her as mayor.

I also support Cris because I believe in term limits. If a leader cannot accomplish their vision in two terms, then it is time for others to step in. As an observer, I find it curious that Cris’ opponent was elected mayor twice and lost his incumbent re-election campaigns twice. Also. most of the multi-family units were also built during his tenure, which he now criticizes.

It is time for new faces with integrity and new ideas to lead Liberty Lake. A vote for Cris Kaminskas will move us forward!
