I hope you will join me in voting for Stephen Buxbaum for mayor of Olympia. Every day, he demonstrates his skills as a manager, an innovator, a negotiator and a listener.

He emphasizes the importance of building relationships and understanding both the big picture and the details related to our local and regional challenges. Then he looks for long-term strategies.

He carefully guides people to support lasting solutions for Olympia. He manages expectations.

He realizes that people in Olympia have set high standards for the kind of community we want. This includes quality design and development, support for public safety and local services, and a continuing effort to preserve and improve our beautiful natural environment.

Two years ago, when we first had the opportunity to vote for him, the electorate was hoping at least for someone who would listen well and deliberate carefully. And we modestly wished for someone who wouldn’t engage in insults or putdowns.

Mr. Buxbaum has delivered on this and so much more.

He helps us all to remember that every person in this community can be part of a long term investment in Olympia. Elect Stephen Buxbaum as Olympia mayor and invest in Olympia’s future.
