Preston McCollam

(Prefers Republican Party) statement appears human

Our county needs an experienced prosecutor now more than ever. With more than a decade of prosecution experience, Preston McCollam works alongside law enforcement and the community, holding offenders accountable and keeping Spokane safe. Preston consistently stands against policies that weaken public safety and silence crime victims. He has earned the trust and endorsement of every Spokane Prosecutor since 1969, Sheriff John Nowels, former U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, U.S. Rep. Michael Baumgartner, and community leaders across Spokane county. Preston is a vetted leader who will serve our community with humility and integrity, delivering principled, no-nonsense prosecution for Spokane.

Danny Tarkenton

(States No Party Preference) statement appears human

Spokane’s jail costs $53 million a year, overdose deaths broke records, and the cycle of crime grows; Danny Tarkenton will break the cycle. As a Spokane-raised, Iraq War veteran and deputy prosecutor, Danny saw how harm can spread, affecting everyone. Her psychology background will reduce repeat offending, finally making Spokane County safer. As an Independent, Danny believes prosecutors serve their communities, not political parties. This is Spokane’s moment to break the cycle. Our home is worth fighting for. Endorsements: Molly Marshall, Lt. Col. (Ret.), Cheney Councilmember Rebecca Long, Spokane Valley Deputy Mayor Tim Hattenburg, Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown
