Chris Vance will be the online guest speaker tonight at a Spokane People for Effective Government event.

Chris Vance, the one-time leader of the Washington State Republican Party, is no longer a Republican. He considers himself independent politically and one of his goals is to ensure that Donald Trump is never again elected president.

Vance will speak tonight as the virtual guest of the Spokane group People for Effective Government. The public is invited to attend the virtual event.

He spoke with SPR earlier this week about the 2024 presidential election campaign, which may well be a rematch of 2020.
