Nolan/Kelso debate on KSPS

Last Thursday I particpated in a televised debate with Micheala Kelso. Use the link below to stream the video.

Throughout the debate Kelso showed, and often admitted lack of knowledge on the topics discussed. She also made it clear she aligns with the rest of the Democratic party view that more government and more taxes are the answer to Washington's problems.

Ballots are out. Vote Alan Nolan for State Representative, 6th Legislative District Position 1 for leadership to start changing the course in our state.

Washington Supreme Court endorsements

While the initiatives deservedly get a lot of attention, the Washington State Supreme Court races are the most consequential decisions on this year's ballot. Five of the nine seats are up for election. That is over half of a court that has repeatedly ignored the will of the people and the actual text of Washington's Constitution. Here are some of their recent greatest hits:

- Overturned Spokane's anti-camping ordinance, approved by 75% of the voters to protect kids at our school and parks.
- Struck down Energy Choice Initiative, which protected access to natural gas and received over 1.9 million votes
- Upheld the Capital Gains Tax as constitutional, somehow finding capital gains are not income

I like the initiatives and will vote "YES" to protect girls' sports, parents' rights and stop another unconstitutional income tax. I will vote for supreme court races to ensure my YES vote isn't discarded by activist in robes. Below are the candidates I endorse to uphold the law.

Position 1 - Scott Edwards - https://votescottedwards.com/
Position 3 - David Stevens - https://www.judgestevensforwa.com/
Position 4 - Sean O'Donnell - https://www.odonnellforjustice.com/
Position 5 - Dave Larson - https://larsonforjustice.com/
Position 7 - Todd Bloom - https://www.electtoddbloom.com/

This is a rare opportunity to make a huge change, change that will have a long impact. Tell your family, friends and neighbors to support the initiatives, but don't let them seal up their ballot until they've also voted to elect justices who will be faithful to the law.

Update from the campaign trail.

Last week as been busy with lots of knocking on doors, voter outreach events and candidate forums. Attached are some of the photos of the many who not only supported me, but wanted signs for their yard on this race, the initiatives and other conservative candidates on the ballot. Greatly appreciate them helping to get the word out.

I do want to highlight the Climate Candidate Forum held last Wednesday Oct 7th by Gonzaga's Climate Institute. As you might expect, the event was heavily tilted towards left-wing policies. A link to the event is inserted below and it provides and makes two things clear:

1) The slate of democratic candidates are not only committed to more and higher taxes as well as greater government control over your lives, they are also completely unable to provide evidence to support any of their positions.

2) Gonzage, along with most every other instituion of higher learning is fundamentally in need of significant reform. Let's move towards that goal by voting Republican this election.

Remembering the victims of Oct 7 terrorist attack.

3 years ago, Hamas declared war by invading Isreali communites along the border with Gaza to r**e, mutilate, kill and kidnap indiscriminately. While I normally, and correctly, focus on how to solve problems in our community and state, Oct 7th is a stark reminder evil is endemic to our world and vigilance is demanded to guard against those who would do us harm.

Policies matter, but the preminent duty of the state is to protect the nation and its citizens. I will not forget that.

I don't say this often, but the Spokesman Review is correct, my opponent and I have vastly different views.

My opponent supports a greater government role in deciding what housing options you can have and favors the unconstitutional income. Inexplicably, she believes Washington inappropiately dictates to schools what should be taught, then argues against the Parents' Rights Initiative and says the state should set rules to access sex-segregated spaces and activities. I agree the state is heavy handed in directing education, but you can't have more local control and also more state control. I support local control with parents as the ones with authority in directing the education of their children.

It's a clear choice for State Representative in 6th Legislative District Position 1. Experience and a record of success to rein in our state government or a big government advocate who want to continue raising taxes and spending.

Vote Alan Nolan this November.

A field of six candidates contending for a state House seat in Spokane County is down to two.

Like the iniatives? Vote to change supreme court.

Washington's partisan and activist supreme court subverted the 2024 election by declaring I-2066, which protected natural gas, unconstitutional in its entirety. They can't be trusted to listen when we say girls deserve the chance to have fair competion in sports, parents should know what goes on with their kids in school and to again reject a state income tax.

The Supreme Court justice races are the most important contests on this year's ballot. 5 open seats with 5 legitimate candidates who will be faithful to the law. Spread the word about the initiatives, but with your next breath, tell friends and neighbors fixing the supreme court is how we will make them last.

Position 1 - Scott Edwards
Position 3 - David Stevens
Position 4 - Sean O'Donnell
Postion 5 - Dave Larson
Position 7 - Todd Bloom

WA Supreme Court, Position 3 candidates

David Stevens is straight shooter who possess exceptional character and intelligence. If you get to attend and event and hear him in person, I highly recommend it.

I don't see a calendar of events posted for him on his facebook or webpage, but will contact him about setting one up and post it if available.

I like this. Does anyone know who prepared it?

San Fran fixed its downtown - Spokane can too

Spokane's downtown has problems with drugs, crime and homelessness, that is for sure. As bad as things are here though, the poster child for mismanaging a downtown has been San Francisco. Or at least it used to be.

San Francisco's homelessness epidemic was so bad, with public defecation so prevalent, residents started mapping it with the "Snapcrap" app created to report it. In January 2025 though, Daniel Lurie took over as mayor, and things changed. 18 months later, San Francisco is a changed city.

Last Tuesday, Gavin Cooley shared a video at the Spokane Business Association's (SBA) annual dinner highlighting the dramatic change. It is linked below and is well worth the watch. Gone are the encampments, the open air drug use and the fentanyl zombies. In fact, things have changed so much the SF P**p Map has been retired.

The change isn't because San Francisco pushed the problem elsewhere, like Seattle for the World Cup, nor did it require mass incarceration. San Francisco simply recognized "meeting people where they're at" - allowing them to continue to use drugs and live on the streets - was neither compassionate nor effective policy.

San Francisco's approach is a roadmap to fix Spokane's downtown. Voters demanded it when they resoundingly passed the anti-camping ordinance in November 2023, which the state supreme court then struck down*. Rules approved by the city council, while a shadow of the ballot measure, at least provides tools for Mayor Brown to act, yet she doesn't.

In any case, enjoy the video, and imagine what Spokane's downtown could be like if we too restored accountabilty.

------------------------------------------------
*When your ballots arrive 3 weeks from now, remember how the current Washington State Supreme Court repeatedly chooses to invalidate the will of the people and vote for David Stevens for Washington State Supreme Court Judge Dave Larson for Supreme Court Justice Vote Scott Edwards for Washington Supreme Court Todd A Bloom for Supreme Court Justice Position No 7.

If you want to ask Mayor Brown why she won't act to address homelessness in our downtown, here is link for contacting her.

Thanks again to Gavin Cooley and the SBA for their efforts to make Spokane a better place. They are a great organization and I am grateful for the work they do.
