Other Candidates
Haynes and Sherazi are running against Michael Cathcart, Doug Salter, Krys Brown, Louis Lefebvre, and Tim Benn. The leading conservative is Cathcart, a longtime Republican political operative who worked for the extremely conservative state Senator Michael Baumgartner and now runs Better Spokane, an advocacy organization funded by big developers.
Salter is a bus driver for the West Valley School District who believes the City Council is making too many decisions without soliciting the opinions of the public and that the city should support businesses that will be affected by the completion of the North Spokane Corridor. Brown is a Resident Advisor for the Union Gospel Mission who works with homeless people and wants to put humanity back into the conversation about homelessness. Louis Lefebvre works for the Spokane Fire Department as a dispatcher and is emphasizing public safety in his campaign. Benn is the very conservative chairman of Spokane's Minnehaha Neighborhood Council who ran Councilmember Mike Fagan's campaign in 2015. None of them are running viable campaigns.
