As a lifelong Spokanite and former County Employee, I strongly endorse Molly Marshall to represent District 5 on the Board of County Commissioners. With her experience and expertise, she will help restore integrity to the District 5 position.
— Carol Landa-McVicker
It is time for a change. All French supports big business, big development, and ineffective community health measures over his own constituents' health and welfare. It is time to elect Molly Marshall who will represent her constituents' interests (infrastructure, planned growth, safety, water quality) and work collaboratively for a better Spokane County.
— Dr. William Lockwood
It has been an honor to meet and talk with Molly. She has some excellent ideas for improving infrastructure and our health (especially relating to the PFAS issues in the West Plains). She also clearly has the drive and background to get things done.
— Patrick Miller
Debbie and I are happy to put our names to Molly's campaign and will support her to the best of our abilities! We are very impressed with her service, her courage, and advocacy for our city's neighborhoods. We know she is going to be a huge step in the right direction for our county. Thank you for taking this on Molly!
— Ronald Reed
Molly has what it takes to win this election and help set Spokane County on a new course!
— Kate Telis
I'm a veteran. I know what it takes to succeed in the military, especially for a woman. The secret is leadership, and Lt. Col. Marshall absolutely demonstrates leadership. It's the kind of compassionate, attentive leadership that has been missing in the 5th Commissioner District, where the incumbent seems more interested in the welfare of developers than the health and safety of his constituents. Molly Marshall is an easy choice in 2024.
— Jim Wavada (Retired military)
The Latah Valley and West Plains areas of our county have experienced rapid, unplanned growth that has caused significant impact on community infrastructure, roads, public safety, and our environment. Maintaining the status quo and protecting vested interests cannot continue. Molly can provide the leadership, and a fresh approach, to addressing issues that affect everyone.
— John Driscoll, Former member: Washington State House of Representatives - 6th Legislative District
As President of Deep Creek Ranchette's Water Association, a Small Class A Water system located north of Fairchild AFB on the West Plains, I endorse Molly Marshall for County Commissioner District 5. We are facing a lot of issues on the West Plains and the biggest one is the PFOA contamination from FAFB and Spokane International Airport. I believe we need a change from the current special interest Commissioner that we have now. I have served in the military with Molly, and she will get the job done for us.
— Jerry Goertz, President, Deep Creek Ranchette’s Water Association
District 5 needs someone to pay attention to the needs of the local community and its constituents. While development is inevitable, it must be well thought out, planned for, issues addressed, not just bring jobs at all costs. There is much more to maintain quality of life for those with deep roots here, than simply bigger is better. Safety of our current population must come first and foremost, plan for and address all growth concerns ahead of time not after problems arise. Molly is trustworthy, honest, a listener and has what it takes to get the job done.
— Nick Scharff, Fire Chief Retired, and lifelong West Spokane County Resident
