Rollins is best candidate for Council Position 6

Renata Rollins, candidate for Olympia City Council Position 6, exemplifies the 21st-century, community-centric and solutions-focused needs of Olympia in this uniquely complex moment in time.

Rollins passionately, humbly and maturely lives out her deep values of love and compassion in tandem with a rich journalistic curiosity; intuitive knowing; and strongly honed listening skills from her training as a social worker. She will bring together diverse perspectives to work toward objective discernment and pragmatic solutions to our shared problems. Furthermore, she represents the progressive change our city and the broader community is crying out for.

For too long our city’s leaders have come to our challenges from a place of fear. Together, we do have the stamina and courage to lean into our challenges. That’s why I am joining Renata’s campaign for a livable Olympia for all.
