Disclaimer: The following questions were answered by candidates in 100 words or less. We

do not edit the answers, other than to enforce the word limit.

1.) In your opinion, is the current Council managing the affairs of the city efficiently? Why or why not? No. The library issue was dragged out over several months (nearly a year) and hours of council meetings. A politically-motivated issue took valuable time away from meaningful city business.

2.) What is the biggest issue facing the City of Liberty Lake? Our growth is the biggest issue. We need to grow in a smart way and in the vision of the community, not the vision of large developers who would like to see Liberty Lake turned into an urban area. The fetanyl crisis is also knocking on our door and must be addressed to protect our children and community.
