Born and raised in Spokane to a working class, union family, Zack Zappone graduated from North Central, just like his grandpa, before working nights at McDonalds to put himself through college. Zack earned a full ride to study Public Policy and Urban Planning at Princeton. While his peers went off to work on Wall Street, Zack returned home to teach in English and History in our public schools.

When the pandemic hit, Zack did what Zappones do: help our community. Zack worked with Food Fights to deliver over 100,000 meals to families in need. Public service is a family tradition for Zappones, so the whole family helped out when Zack launched his campaign for Spokane City Council.

Throughout 2020, Zack focused his campaign on ideas to lift up working and middle class families. While a record-setting amount of outside spending funded dishonest attacks, Zack’s grassroots campaign stayed positive. They showed that when working and middle class families stand up to big money, our communities win. Spokane wins.
