There are two things I want to publicly express gratitude for…
Thank you both so much for making life more wonderful.

The Washington Secretary of States Office has published the early results for the Deer Park School District Bond. For the bond measure to succeed, the voters must approve the measure by 60% with a minimum of 40% voter turnout.

This weekend marks the first of two Merry Markets coming this month, as Deer Park Market hosts its popular holiday event not once but twice. It’s the perfect opportunity to get Christmas gifts for everyone on your list while supporting the community.

John Naylin Leonard of Loon Lake, Washington, peacefully passed away on Saturday, September 28th, in Spokane, WA after a long battle with renal failure. He was 63.
John was a loving husband to his wife, Sharon, and a caring father to his 9 children, Chelsea, William (Tanna), J (Julie), Elizabeth, Michael, Rebecca (Kevin), Max (Olivia), Sam, and Anna. He dearly loved his five granddaughters, Braylinn, Alianna, Vera, Brielle, and Zoey, who each had him wrapped around their little fingers. He also adored his nieces and nephews, as well as their children.

I’m writing in support of the proposed Replacement Bond for School Construction. I’m an active community member & volunteer. I have made it a priority and taken the time to learn how this bond will be used. I’ve found an open-door policy and full in regards to the use and justification of the bond. I am impressed and grateful for the prioritization the School Board and Bond Committee are giving to the feedback they’ve received from the community about concerns over an increase in their tax bill. Every Committee and Board member I’ve encountered is eager to answer questions.

As a former District Cout Judge, I have often heard friends and family ask about how to vote in judicial races. Occasionally there is a race where I have provided a public endorsement and this year presents such a race. Tim Fennessy is running for re-election to Position 11 on the Spokane County Superior Court. After more than 33 years practicing law in Spokane, Judge Fennessy was elected to the bench in 2016.

Kiwanis is inviting community members to volunteer for WinterFest 2025, an annual celebration in Deer Park. With numerous events planned, residents are encouraged to join planning meetings to ensure a wide range of activities occur.

I am writing in support for reelecting Wes McCart for county commissioner. Commissioner McCart has become one of the most influential public servants in Eastern Washington and never fails to bring the concerns of Stevens County to the forefront in all matters legislative.

Deer Park Middle School buzzed excitedly as students from five schools came together for a spirited cross-country meet. The event showcased teamwork, athleticism, and the joy of running among friends.
