Our family is supporting Rossi for Olympia mayor

We are among the many Olympians who are ready for a new voice in our city government – someone who will bring fresh ideas to what have become stale conversations about our future. When elected mayor of Olympia, Marco Rossi will be that new voice.

With many important issues coming before our City Council in the next few years, our community needs someone who wants you to be a part of the conversation. Marco is committed to opening up the city’s budget process and making it understandable. He will have residents, businesses and social service providers and receivers around the table as the city embarks on updating its master plan for the future of our beloved downtown.

He wants to require developers to get feedback from neighborhoods before projects proceed. He is focused on diversity, projects to better the lives of our elders and youth, parks, police accountability, and to protecting our precious South Sound environment.

Marco is a strong voice for income equality. He believes in winning the fight for increased wages for our lowest-income workers so that they may be able to afford decent, safe housing, food and medical care.

Most importantly, Marco reflects the values this community holds dear: volunteerism, compassion, activism and inclusion. Please give Marco Rossi your vote in November.
