Early life and education

Career

After working at television stations in Idaho, Woodward moved to Spokane, Washington in 1990, where she worked for KREM and KXLY-TV.[4][5]

Woodward's campaign for mayor was initially managed by Eleanor Baumgartner, wife of Republican politician Michael Baumgartner, and supported by incumbent mayor David Condon. Though she was supported by a number of Republican-leaning groups, Woodward is a self-described nonpartisan.[6][7]
