Progressive Zappone tops Spokane primary as Savage eyes November election

(The Center Square) – After securing over 50% of Tuesday’s vote, Spokane City Councilmember Zack Zappone sat down with The Center Square on Friday to discuss his reelection bid ahead of November.

As the incumbent, Zappone will face Christopher Savage, who has run for that seat three times in the past. According to Spokane County Elections, Zappone won the Tuesday primary with 8,107 votes, or 51.3% of the total, while Savage received the second most, 4,550 votes, which is 28.79% of the total.

Election officials finished counting ballots, but the county won’t certify the results until Aug. 19; until then, the exact figures are subject to change. Regardless, Zappone currently leads the race by 3,557 votes, so Savage must win over some of the third candidate’s supporters if he hopes to close the gap.

District 3 voters will decide between Zappone’s existing track record and Savage’s promises of change on Nov. 4; residents can listen to and read about The Center Square’s recent interview with Savage here.
