John Waite is one of the few candidates in memory to make mental health part of his platform. It is courageous because many people are afraid of mental health issues because they don't take the time to understand what mental illness is or how it affects our community.

The transformation shows the capacity for creativity, innovation and imagination in Spokane as a city and by individuals in the city. It shows how leaders collaborate together to make something new out of the old via a process of transformation, starting with a dream and then making that dream a reality.
