SPOKANE, Wash. – Spokane City Council member Michael Cathcart has announced his candidacy for Spokane County Auditor in the upcoming election.
Cathcart said he would cut short his four-year council term if elected. The current auditor, Vicki Dalton, who has held the position for 26 years, endorsed Cathcart after announcing last year she would not seek re-election.
Cathcart consulted with Dalton and shadowed her to better understand the role, which involves overseeing county services such as licensing and elections. “I’m entering this race with respect for the work that’s been done, but also with a firm belief that this is an opportunity for new leadership,” Cathcart said.
This shift in leadership could bring new perspectives to the auditor’s office, emphasizing the importance of continuity and innovation in county services.
