Support small business, vote Mike Lish

I own a local barbershop in downtown Spokane. This last year and a half has been tough on small business across the board. Right now, as Spokane works to recover from the pandemic and shutdowns, we can’t let our small businesses be left behind. That’s why I’m supporting Mike Lish for Spokane’s City Council.

Mike runs a local family business, so he knows the struggles of this past year. We need someone with a small business background on the City Council, so the relief money the City is receiving will get to those most impacted. Mike wants to make sure our local businesses have the support they need. We need a voice with integrity who puts service to the community above partisan politics. We need Mike Lish.

If you like to support small business with your dollars, then you should definitely support our small businesses with your vote this November….Send in your ballot and vote Mike Lish….Thank you.
