Mike Lish has our backs
Mike Lish is as Spokane as you can get. Growing up in Spokane, his family lived the American Dream. His dad had a contract out of Fairchild, and saved up to start his own restaurant. Growing up, Lish worked hard from the back room all the way up to taking the reins of operations himself.
Lish gets what it means to work hard. He grew his fathers legacy into what is now a successful staple in Spokane, D-Lish hamburgers. Lish now wants to take that mentality and apply it where we need it most, City Hall.
As our next City Councilmember, Lish will:
Fund our police to keep our communities safe in Northwest Spokane.
Address homelessness by giving them the resources they need to get back on their feet
Foster a strong relationship with small businesses to promote growth and new jobs
Political divide tends to separate us, but we need good people in government now more than ever. I strongly urge you to support Mike Lish by voting before Nov. 2
