Cle Elum elects a newcomer write-in for city council

Sarah Lackey who entered late at the encouragement of friends in a form of a write in candidate through grassroots fundraising.  She is a concerned parent and local real estate broker who wants to bring common sense to her city hall.  She is currently leading by 27 votes over the establishment candidate Elizabeth Kurtz she will be officially confirmed when the Kittitas County Auditor certifies the results on November 24th.  I also know that current council members will listen to her idea hopefully agrees with her. She will bring the fresh perspective similar to what Leah Hadfield did in 2017 won as a write for her only term on the Roslyn City Council in its sister city.  She brought a fresh voice and some common sense to it like Nolan Weis has done that last 10 years to Roslyn.  Congrats to Sarah because she will be what Cle Elum actually needed on the city council.
