About
John-Mark

“I love this area- I grew up here, I went to school here, and I've lived here most of my life.  Recent events in politics and the possibly dire consequences they might bring about have made it imperative to become involved, and have  highlighted the need for good people to stand up for what they believe. 

I personally believe I can bring about positive change to benefit not just city government, but the current and future residents of Pullman and our surrounding areas as a whole, who are growing up, going to school, and living their own lives here...just as I have.”
