Vote for Sherazi, move Spokane forward

Ballots are here and in Northeast Spokane, Naghmana Sherazi is the clear choice for Spokane City Council District 1.

Sherazi has the lived and work experience City Council desperately needs. She has deep community connections and real deal solutions to public safety and housing, not just talk. She is an active community member working to make Spokane a truly safe, inclusive and welcoming home. It has been an honor to work with her the last few years.

Every election, you’ll hear the stakes are high but every municipal election, Spokane Realtors and wealthy Republicans outside Spokane spend more money to buy these seats. Why? What are they so afraid of? Look no further than how they are spending thousands so voters make a misinformed decision: District 1 opponent, Jonathan Bingle has participated in the “Church of Planned Parenthood” with Matt Shea, a domestic terrorist, that unlawfully harasses and intimidates patients seeking health care at the Spokane Planned Parenthood health center. He opposes LGBTQ rights. He opposes public health recommendations. He skipped debates including a housing forum. The less you know about his actual views, the better. Northeast Spokane deserves more than this and can’t have another dishonest right-wing opportunist in office.

Sherazi represent the authentic future while Bingle wants to stop the future from happening.

On November 2nd, please vote for Sherazi who will work on behalf of all to create a better Spokane.
