Spokane County Commissioner · District 4
Data centers drain our water, spike our utility bills, pocket billions in tax breaks, and leave us with the consequences. They are coming for Spokane County. Rachelle Miller is running to stop them.
Beat Back the Expansion How to Cast a Write-In Vote
Spokane County has five commissioners. Three are pro-big-business Republicans, one of whom went to Olympia to lobby for a sales tax exemption for data centers. The others have said nothing. The Republican candidate in District 4 has said nothing. One independent voice at that table changes everything.
When the Spokesman-Review confirmed on June 3 that a corporation was seeking 500 megawatts of power from Avista, the filing deadline had already passed. The county commissioners said nothing. So Rachelle Miller filed as a write-in. If she receives just 1% of the vote in the August 4 primary, she will be on the ballot for the general election. That is not a long shot. That is a plan.
