Jonathan Bingle will run for re-election to Spokane City Council

Spokane City Councilman Jonathan Bingle has officially announced his candidacy for re-election this November, stressing the importance of public safety, affordable housing, and effective addiction management. In a speech at Minnehaha Park, he expressed pride in his accomplishments while calling for a renewed focus on pressing local issues. Bingle's campaign emphasizes collaboration with city and county governments to develop regional solutions to shared challenges. His fellow council member, Michael Cathcart, highlighted the value of Bingle's presence on the council, particularly as a conservative voice. Additionally, Spokane County Sheriff John Nowels endorsed Bingle, noting his ability to work effectively across governmental lines.

Bingle advocates for a return to the basics, arguing that the focus should be on safety and infrastructure rather than new laws or funding. As two other council seats are also up for election, the dynamics of the council may shift significantly. Bingle's commitment to foundational issues resonates with constituents seeking impactful change.
