Former Spokane mayor seeks $10M from city, claiming harm from censure [View all]
SPOKANE, Wash. — Former Spokane Mayor Nadine Woodward is seeking $10 million from the city after she was censured for appearing at a prayer service held by right-wing religious leaders in 2023.
Woodward, a long-time television news anchor here, was defeated in her reelection bid three months after the August 2023 censure by the City Council.
Her attorney filed an amended tort claim with the city in mid-April, raising the amount sought in the original claim from $1.5 million to $10 million.
Woodward contended the censure was a “scarlet letter” that continues to harm her.
