Haynes deserves your vote

My fellow Spokane community, I implore upon you to please do your research, and submit your votes. You have before you a candidate who supersedes your preconceived notions of politicians: Mr. Jerrall Haynes.

There is an unfortunate and, sadly, well-earned lack of faith in those we elect to political offices. It is an undisputed fact that the public has been scammed and taken advantage of in every possible way by the individuals we are paying to represent our best interests. However, negativity and feelings of disgruntlement will only get us so far; utilizing our vote to illicit change is the only alternative.

Mr. Haynes is running for City Council District 1 and he is a candidate who is honest, kind and, believe it or not, honestly kind. He spends himself on behalf of his community and has done this for years without ever drawing attention to it or demanding the spotlight. He earnestly seeks to hear the concerns of those around him and works intently to bring resolutions.

Jerrall serves the youth in our community, was elected to serve on the District 81 school board, has served in the United States military, serves on countless teams, organizations and community boards and is a small-business owner. On a more important note, he encourages those around him, works to build up his community and believes in equality and integrity. So find him, talk to him, ask him questions and then, vote
