Shar Lichty is a long-time community organizer who is challenging conservative incumbent David Condon for Mayor of Spokane. Lichty's priorities include increasing transparency and accountability in the Mayor's office, as well as investing in small businesses and supporting working families.
Condon, who received ethically-suspect campaign contributions in his 2011 race, has been ineffective and mainly governed from the right. Another candidate, Michael Noder, is a perennial candidate who spends most of his time attacking government. Shar Lichty is the best choice in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05Shar Lichty

Randy Ramos is running for Spokane City Council in District 1. Ramos won the Inlander’s Peirone prize for his work to help at risk youth and people struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues. Raised in the Hillyard neighborhood, he has a deep passion for helping to revitalize northeast Spokane and making sure under-represented communities are heard at the City Council.
Ramos is running against incumbent Mike Fagan, who is a right-wing extremist known for making offensive comments in the media and at city council meetings. He has opposed pay equity for women and made outlandish statements such as blaming the measles outbreak on immigrants. He stokes fear and hate in our community and needs to be replaced. Other candidates in this race include Ben Krauss, who has withdrawn from the race due to personal reasons after ballots were printed. Ramos is the best choice in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05Randy Ramos

Spokane City Councilmember Karen Stratton is running to retain her seat in District 3. Stratton is a lifelong resident of Spokane with extensive experience working in the private and public sector. She also volunteers with a wide range of community organizations. Since being appointed to the seat last fall, Stratton has played a lead role raising the issue of gender pay equity within city government, neighborhood revitalization efforts, and creating quality jobs in the city. She also stood up to the Mayor’s attempts to appoint more of his political allies to key positions in the city.
Stratton’s opponents in this crowded primary are all conservative. Evan Verduin is a conservative business owner who is being backed by corporate interests and the Republican Party’s political machine. Kelly Cruz is a conservative carpenter who lost to Candace Mumm in 2013. Dave White is not running a credible campaign. Stratton is the clear choice in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05Karen Stratton

Jerrall Haynes, a mentor of at risk youth and an active volunteer in the community, would bring a much needed change to the School Board Position 3. Haynes is currently serving in the military, where he manages up to 300 mechanics to execute complex tasks on tight deadlines. He believes strongly that the best way to improve any system is to listen to the people at all levels of involvement. Haynes wants to bring this style of leadership to the school district so that the School Board does a better job listening to students, teachers, and parents before making decisions.
His opponent, incumbent Rocky Treppiedi, has developed a reputation for being abrasive and difficult to work with. As a City Attorney, Treppiedi had been accused by federal prosecutors of tampering with the investigation into the case of Otto Zehm. He was fired by the City of Spokane. Donald Dover is a perennial progressive candidate that does not appear to be running a serious campaign. Haynes is the clear choice in this race for Spokane School Board Position 3.Last updated: 2023-04-05Jerrall Haynes
