I received my Voter’s Pamphlet today, and skipped over many pages to read who is running for the Deer Park School Board. There are five people challenging the incumbent who has been serving for sixteen years.
I always vote for the incumbent if the person has been doing a great job.
Vote for Eric Keller, who is and has been excellent for our Deer Park School Board.

A state investigation is officially underway into the City of Deer Park for the alleged illegal use of taxpayer resources to promote a $14.6 million school levy. At the center of the probe is a potential conflict of interest, as the School District’s plans to purchase city-owned land in the near future hinge on the levy’s passage.
Dear Community Members,
My name is Mike Thompson, and I have been a resident of Spokane County Fire District #4 for 22 years. During this time, I have had the privilege of serving on the Citizens Advisory Committee, where we review district operations, monitor facilities, and provide input on funding options.
Fire erupted from a van parked in front of Sculley’s on Monday. A quick response by Spokane County Fire District #4 crews prevented a vehicle fire from spreading to the structure. Traffic was blocked on A Street for a short time while crews worked on the fire.
As a city council member in the late 70’s and early 80’s and a city employee for 24 years I have heard a lot of misinformation disseminated through “coffee shop” talk and later social media. It has always concerned me to hear incorrect information passed along by people who don’t bother to ask for the facts, when they are readily available. Right now I am hearing of things being said about the Deer Park School levy, particularly the need for a new bus barn, that are troubling.
The City of Deer Park’s new splash pad at Mix Park is set to conclude its first season, having been open for less than a month. With only this weekend left for families to enjoy the new park attraction, time is running out to cool off before it closes to the public.
The Deer Park Gazette posed five questions to city council & mayoral candidates in the upcoming election, including those running unopposed. These questions delve into candidates’ priorities, views, perspectives, approaches, and how personal beliefs have shaped their direction.
There are two things I want to publicly express gratitude for…
Thank you both so much for making life more wonderful.
