"First and foremost, a County Commissioner should care about her constituents, and I'm especially thinking of everyday people who lack political influence, yet rely on local government to help make their lives better. Dr. Kim has consistently demonstrated this philosophy in her professional life as a champion of public health. I am confident that this same commitment to people will carry over into her role as a County Commissioner. For this reason, I heartily endorse Dr. Kim as the best candidate. "

- Eric Skelton, Senior Policy Analyst, NESCAUM,
Clean Air Association of the Northeast States;
and Former Executive Director SCAPCA
(Spokane County Air Pollution Control Authority)

 

   
 


"Kim Thorburn has a very impressive record of public service. Add to that her ability to give us the leadership Spokane County needs just now. I easily cast my vote for her."
- Don Reese, Lutheran pastor, ret., Liberty Lake
