Born and raised in Spokane, Zack Zappone follows his working class family's tradition of serving the region for generations as teachers, secretaries, school bus drivers, and in the armed forces.
As a teacher, Zack advocated for changes to help students ignored by the public school system. Zack left teaching to study barriers to his students' opportunities at Princeton University working on projects that would give hard working individuals a fair shot: expanding access to higher education, affordable health care, and safe routes to school.
Following his family's tradition, Zack moved back home with new experiences and skills to serve Spokane, volunteering with Spokane Food Fighters since the beginning of the outbreak of the coronavirus.
Zack is running for state representative to fight so all hard working families have a fair shot as we rebuild our community with living-wage jobs and worker protections, a strong education system, and affordable healthcare.
- fighting to make sure everyone has a fair shot
- strong education system and career pathways
- good jobs and worker protections
I am passionate about education, economic development, and the safety net.
