Cheryl Selby is a Role Model and Best Choice for Olympia Mayor

I am writing today to explain why Cheryl Selby is the best candidate for Olympia mayor. I am 19 years old and have lived in Olympia my entire life. A vote for Cheryl is a vote for Olympia’s future.

Cheryl’s experience in many areas of our community and history of positive change in each of those is impressive. Her work as a current City Council member combined with the experience of owning and running a small local business confirms that her skills are varied and will be invaluable.

Cheryl represents my values as a young woman and college student. She support’s women’s rights and reproductive health. Cheryl will work to ensure that I inherit a healthy environment.

I first met Cheryl in 2013 when I was a member of her high school intern program during her race for City Council and I was excited to work on her campaign for mayor this year.

Cheryl Selby is the right candidate to become the next mayor.
