Spokane Mayor David Condon and City Council President Ben Stuckart issued the following joint statement about the events nationwide that have followed Tuesday’s election. The statement is as follows:
“Many across our country are struggling to express themselves after an emotional election season. The finality of the election and the passions that still burn strongly after more than a year of difficult discussion and debate has people searching for an outlet and looking for reassurance.
Spokane remains a place where we rally when our friends and neighbors need us most. We are quick to embrace and eager to support. We comfort when there is concern and calm when there is fear.
Nothing has changed. Spokane is still the most compassionate city in the country. This is our chance to once again lead by example and show the country why we are all Spokane.
Spokane will continue to be a community where new ideas, diverse opinions and differing viewpoints are welcomed and encouraged. We will continue to be a city that values the freedoms this country has fought hard to protect and makes sure that everyone enjoys.
We are all Spokane.”
