Other Candidates

Timothy Steiner is running for Cheney City Council, Position 4. Steiner is a former firefighter and served in several volunteer positions in the Spokane area.

Steiner's campaign is focused on public safety, community service, and economic success. His main approach to public safety is prioritizing the fire and police departments, making sure they are "trained in modern law enforcement tactics." He does not elaborate further on any specific policies he would implement. Steiner would also like to promote community services, such as events, parks, and the new pool. Timothy Steiner's campaign is too vague and underdeveloped for us to recommend his candidacy.

Shawn Ricketson is also running for Cheney City Council, Position 4. As of late June, Ricketson does not have a detailed campaign available, nor do they have a bio in the Spokane County voter guide.

Based on our local interviews and research into this race, Rebecca Long is the best choice for Cheney City Council, Position 4.
