Mayor David A. Condon

Term of Office: 2012-2015

David A. Condon is the 44th Mayor of the City of Spokane. Born in February, 1974, the same year that Spokane was preparing to shine on the world stage at the Expo ’74 World’s Fair, David grew up watching the fireworks off Cliff Drive on the 4th of July, helping his mom at the House of Charity, and spending Friday nights in the fall at Joe Albi Stadium watching high school football games.

It was the Spokane that David grew up in, a place that was safe for families, fertile for businesses, and naturally stunning, that gave him a passion for this City. The youngest of ten children of Dr. John and Mrs. Carolu Condon, he was raised with a mind toward small business and service. After graduating from Gonzaga Preparatory School in 1992, he went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in Finance and Military Science from Boston College.

His career has spanned everything from starting four of his own coffee shops during his college years in Boston, to managing his father’s dental practice in Spokane, to working as the Deputy Chief of Staff for Eastern Washington’s U.S. Congresswoman, Cathy McMorris Rodgers. Additionally, David served in the 25th Infantry Division, Hawaii; the 62nd Medical Brigade, Fort Lewis, WA; the 396th Combat Support Hospital and the Mann Reserve Center in the Hillyard neighborhood.

His passion for Spokane and his belief that it can be a model city for other municipalities led to an ambitious plan that has focused on five key areas for Spokane including:

• Public Safety
• Jobs and economic development
• Restoring public trust in law enforcement and enhancing community safety
• Creating an atmosphere to attract and retain jobs
• Promoting long-term fiscal health without undue burden on citizens
• Maintaining critical public infrastructure at an affordable price
• Engaging citizens and improving the quality and character of our community

In the short time that David has been Mayor, he has established himself as a leader, advocate, and innovator in modeling how municipal government can become more flexible and adaptable to the needs of citizens in a changing economy. He has led the City of Spokane though an open and interactive process to find a new Chief of Police. Through realigning departments within City Hall, improved services have emerged such as streamlining the City’s commercial permitting process to better serve businesses and developers. He delivered a 2013 Budget for the City that closed a projected shortfall of $10 million without using one-time funds. Last spring, he reduced water rates to a more equitable level for Spokane citizens. And this fall, Mayor Condon launched My Spokane, a customer service center within City Hall designed to address and assist citizen’s needs in one easy stop.

David and his wife Kristin are raising their two children in the Cliff-Cannon neighborhood, just a block from David’s childhood home. He is most passionate about Spokane, and making sure that this great City remains a place that his own children will want to stay and raise a family.

He is a son, husband, and father who, at the end of the day, whether he became Mayor or not or whether he runs again or is elected again, is staying in Spokane. This is where his heart is. He’s quite purposely chosen to live here and hopes to remain in Spokane for the rest of his life. Spokane is our town, and David believes that working together, it can be the City of Choice for the Northwest.
