Ubiquitous city council attendee Christopher Savage announces bid for dais

Christopher Savage is making another bid for a Spokane City Council seat in District 3, aiming to challenge incumbent Zack Zappone. He is focused on supporting law enforcement with a fully vetted tax measure for a new jail and addressing visible homelessness through what he describes as "tough love" measures. Savage raises concerns about the council's recent push for higher residential density, which he argues has led to community contention due to a lack of dialogue. He emphasizes the need for representation that embodies community values rather than imposing top-down solutions. Furthermore, Savage is resistant to most tax increases, advocating for fiscal responsibility amidst economic burdens on residents.

His campaign has gained momentum, with over $11,000 raised, significantly more than in previous runs. He believes he is now better prepared, having learned from past mistakes in his political journey. As a district leader for the Spokane County GOP, Savage’s candidacy reflects a commitment to local governance and community engagement.
