Friends,
In 2019, former award-winning broadcaster Nadine Woodward narrowly defeated Spokane City Council President Ben
Stuckart to become the 45th Mayor of Spokane. It was a typical local government choice, as Councilman Stuckart had the backing of powerful liberal
government unions, while first-time candidate Woodward garnered support from business organizations and community groups.
Mayor Woodward’s key campaign
issues back then included the homelessness crisis and public safety, and pledging to establish a new police precinct in downtown Spokane. Shortly
after taking office, the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, and she became an advocate for giving local officials a say in the safe progression of their
communities, demanding more authority from Governor Jay Inslee.
Now Mayor Woodward is in another competitive race against another
scandal-plagued far-Left candidate, this
time it’s Lisa Brown.
And we here at Shift WA are keeping a close eye on the race.
Our mission here at Shift WA is to
shift the political debate in our state by highlighting the contrasts between conservative and liberal policies. As such, our focus naturally
gravitates towards where the most action takes place – Olympia – and where so many statewide elections are decided – the most
populous county, King County.
But our commitment to greater public awareness on key issues extends to our entire state, including cities like
Spokane.
Thank you,
The Shift WA
team
