Two of the five seats on the Spokane Public Schools school board in Washington were up for at-large general election on November 7, 2017. A primary election for District 5 was held on August 1, 2017, because more than two candidates filed for the seat.
In District 5, the District 2 incumbent Mike Wiser filed for the seat along with challengers Miranda Ackerman, Jennifer Thomas, and Jessica Yocom. Wiser and Thomas won the primary, allowing them to move on to the general. Wiser went on to win the seat. He was appointed to District 2 in March 2017 following former member Bob Douthitt's resignation.
A special election was held for the District 2 seat to finish out the last two years of Douthitt's term. District 5 incumbent Deana Brower ran unopposed, winning the seat.[1]
