There were nearly one hundred young adults who attended the forum; posing challenging questions about the issues of concern to youth to both Commissioner Richard and his opponent. The result of the mock election conducted by those young adults in attendance after the forum was 55-21 in favor of Commissioner Richard.
"This vote was a wonderful validation of the work we have accomplished to provide hope for vulnerable young people, to expand employment and recreation opportunities as well as representation on Boards and Commissions in county government. These efforts helped Spokane win the coveted 100 best places in the nation for young people to live award by America’s Promise organization for the 3rd year in a row, and I am deeply honored to earn their support" said Commissioner Richard.
