The 2019 Spokane mayoral election took place on November 5, 2019, to elect the mayor of Spokane, Washington . The previous mayor, David Condon was unable to run due to term limits. It saw former local news anchor Nadine Woodward defeat former Spokane City Council president Ben Stuckart by a margin of just over one percentage point.
Background [ edit ]
While both general election candidates officially listed themselves as non-partisan, each represented one side of the right-left political divide in the United States with Woodward on the right-wing[2] [3] [3]
Despite sitting in a long-time Republican -held Congressional district, the City of Spokane itself had become Democrat -leaning in the years leading up to the 2019 mayoral election. Stuckart led a city council with a liberal super-majority — which persisted after the election — and the Democratic challenger to congresswoman Cathy McMorris-Rodgers won the city by 17 percentage points in the prior year's election . Woodward's ability as a right-wing candidate to win the left-leaning city was due in large part to her popularity as a nearly three-decade presence on local TV news at both KREM and KXLY as well as her ability to turn the race into a referendum on homelessness and crime.[4]
Primary election [ edit ]
Washington has a nonpartisan blanket primary system. The top two finishers in the primary face each other in the general election.
The primary election was held on August 6, 2019.[1]
Declared candidates [ edit ]
Jonathan Bingle, former pastor
Kelly P. Cruz, chairman of Spokane C.O.P.S.
Shawn Poole, firefighter and veteran
Ben Stuckart, former city council president
Nadine Woodward , former news anchor
