Former army reserve medic Kitty Klitze is running to bring her transportation expertise to the Spokane City Council. As the former chair of Spokane's Community Assembly Pedestrian, Transportation, and Traffic Committee, chair of the Spokane Regional Transportation Advisory Committee, and president of the Spokane Regional Food Policy Council, Klitze has been deeply involved in the community. She also led Complete Streets Spokane, which successfully advocated for bike and pedestrian infrastructure requirements when planning and building streets.
In our local interview, Klitzke had solid and progressive answers to many of the issues facing Spokane. Like Herevia, she agreed that the police ombudsman should be granted the power to independently investigate community complaints, which voters overwhelmingly approved. She also believed that Spokane needs to stop incentivizing housing that is not affordable and start incentivizing the development of vacant lots, buildings, and parking lots. On homelessness, she supports a housing-first approach that helps people find shelter and secure homes as well as needed services.
Klitzke is a good choice for those looking for an accomplished transportation advocate who is excited to take on the city's needs for long-term planning and vision.Kitty Klitzke
