Independent Matt Little is challenging incumbent Republican Gary Medvigy for the Clark County Council, District 4 seat. Little has worked in D.C. as an advisor on agricultural and land use issues and was a member of the bipartisan Northeast-Midwest Congressional Coalition. He has also served locally with sporting and conservation groups, including as executive director of Cascade Forest Conservancy. In our local council interview, Little stated his focus would be on improving growth planning, providing local jobs and services especially in light of COVID-19, and building more city centers. He emphasized his commitment to building walkable communities that maintain the county's rural character, balancing dense urban growth with farmland, and providing services for young people and those facing homelessness.
Little is running against incumbent Republican and former Army general Gary Medvigy, who was appointed to the council in 2019. Medvigy opposes taxes to the point of criticizing the Washington State Supreme Court's McCleary decision, which mandated that the state fully fund K-12 education. Medvigy has been on the wrong side of racial justice issues, including saying that he "would never take a knee or tolerate those who do" during the national anthem. While not as conservative as former seat-holder Eileen Quiring, Medvigy would not push for most progressive policies.
Little is the best choice in this race.

Young people deserve accurate information to help them make good decisions, to protect themselves, and to protect their futures. But today, too many students don’t receive high-quality, inclusive, medically accurate education about sex and healthy relationships, putting them at risk of sexual assault, unintended pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections. In particular, students of color are more likely to receive incomplete or incorrect sex education.
