Gigi McClure for Port Commissioner

I encourage everyone to vote for Gigi McClure for the Port of Olympia Commissioner this November. Those who know her opponent, know Zita to be disruptive, opinionated, and unorganized.

Apparently, those who watch her activity at the port are not the only ones with this opinion of Zita. Ratemyprofessor.com shows the current commissioner has been given a 2.0 rating by prior and current students. Only 5 percent of the faculty at the Evergreen State College have the privilege to have a score solow. The ratings say that she is difficult to work with, absorbed in her opinions, and argumentative. Sound familiar? Yep, she behaves the same on the Port Commission.

Zita’s contentious behavior at the port has caused the Port of Olympia Commission to call for a meeting with a consultant in the spring of 2017 in order to improve the staff and commission relationships. I guess we know who caused that.

Let’s vote for Gigi McClure for Port of Olympia Commissioner. With Gigi McClure on the board we will finally have a less divisive Port Commission that can get down to business and avoid unnecessary drama.
