This week we’re profiling candidates for Spokane City Council’s South City Council District. Today, we’re introducing incumbent for District 2, Betsy Wilkerson.
Wilkerson has been a Spokane City Council member since she was appointed in late 2019. She also owns an assisted living facility and is the president of the board for the Carl Maxey Center.
If voters retain her, she said she plans to keep advocating for a collaborative, and inclusive city leadership, and seeking insight from under-represented community members.
“In this last year amidst everything else, some healthy relationships and understanding, bridges, have been built to take Spokane forward. Being part of that, I want to continue to stay in that space and continue to elevate the voices that have not been heard, and to represent the people with a new idea and way of working together and thinking.”
