Twenty years of showing up for people.

Rachelle Miller

LICSW · MSW, Eastern Washington University · BA, University of Montana

A commitment to accountable, functional government.

Rachelle Miller grew up in Spokane and is raising her family here. Between hockey rinks and hiking trails, her kids are growing up in the same community she did. She is running to make sure it stays that way.

Over more than two decades as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, Rachelle Miller has worked across mental health, education, and state and county human services at the intersections where systems either hold people up or let them fall through. As a parent of children with special needs, she has navigated those systems personally as well as professionally. She has helped draft and pass bipartisan legislation protecting parental rights in special education, and has been recognized as a disability rights advocate across Washington State.

She has led region-wide teams through quality assurance and accreditation, helped clinicians develop their practice through the Internal Family Systems Institute, and earned multiple awards for leadership and innovation from the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services. Her work has consistently been about the same thing: helping institutions align with the people they exist to serve.

She has spent her career navigating bureaucracies on behalf of people who had no one else in their corner. She knows how institutions work, how they resist accountability, and how to make them answer for it anyway. That is exactly the skill set this race requires.

She is running because Spokane County's water, land, and power belong to the people who live here, and to the generations that come after us.
