Write-In Candidate Makes Ballot | Spokane News
Description
Rachelle Miller, a write-in independent candidate, stunned Spokane County voters by barely clearing the 1% threshold with 1,083 votes to make the general election ballot — while her opponent, Suzanne Schmidt, pulled in over 22,000. With no official campaign materials or Voter’s Pamphlet support, Miller relied on a website and grassroots hustle to run as a social worker, small business owner, and mom. Though write-ins rarely win, this year’s political fatigue and local focus on issues like data centers may give her a chance to break through — even without the usual advantages.
