Cheryl Selby is the best choice for Olympia mayor

I am writing to strongly urge you to vote for Cheryl Selby, who is running for mayor of Olympia. I worked with Cheryl for several years on the board of a local non-profit organization. I was immediately impressed – Cheryl is smart, hard working, personable, and very effective.

From our work together I came to understand that she deeply cares about Olympia and has the knowledge and experience to make a positive contribution to the well-being of our community. As a downtown business owner, Cheryl brings an important and much needed perspective to her current position as a member of the Olympia City Council. She has the vision and energy to guide us towards the economic development of long-needed downtown housing while maintaining the qualities that make Olympia such a unique and wonderful community.

In short, Cheryl has the personal and professional skills to lead us as we work together to shape the future of Olympia.
