In Spokane, Washington, Mayor Nadine Woodward faced criticism for attending a worship event hosted by missionary Sean Feucht, and for receiving prayer from former legislator-turned-pastor Matt Shea. Shea, removed from his legislative office due to involvement in an armed takeover, and Feucht, known for organizing “Let Us Worship” events during COVID-19 lockdowns, are controversial figures. Despite accusations of hate at the event, attendees reported a focus on prayer and unity. Woodward stated her attendance was to support wildfire-ravaged families and she was unaware of Feucht and Shea’s presence.
