Mike Riggs would serve city well

We are writing in support of Mike Riggs for city council. Now, more than ever, Moses Lake needs a person who is beyond the dishonesty of the recent past. Mike is such a person. His many friends will tell you he is an honest guy, one whose actions are fully transparent. He has had experiences working with a wide variety of people, negotiating and communicating and reaching consensus. Many of you know Mike through his work with the Boy Scouts, the church, Serve Moses Lake and the BBCC Foundation. You know he is a thoughtful person, open minded and hard working. We know Mike mostly as co-chair of the Trails Planning Team. This group has worked for more than a dozen years to improve our city’s walking and biking trail. Mike is a talented person who wants to make Moses Lake a better place for us all. He deserves your help and support as he is a dedicated public servant.

Mike Riggs would make a good councilman

I attend a city-citizen “planning team,” of which Mike Riggs is co-chair. I’ve found Dr. Riggs’ leadership to be transparent, open to differing opinions and willing to “check things out” by “going into the field” – skills that would make for a good City Council member.

Voth will help navigate growth
