Everyone in Olympia should be able to see a path to economic opportunity. Whether that’s access to education or job training, the chance to grow and advance, or the opportunity to try something new.
I want to make sure people in Olympia know about the incredible resources available here and have equitable access to them.
Olympia adopted a great road map to how we help our local economy thrive when we adopted our Olympia Strong plan. I will help put that plan to work by bringing together our public and private partners, higher education institutions, economic development professionals, non-profits, and community leaders to find ways our City can boost and leverage their work.
Additionally, revenue growth is key to stabilizing our city’s budget. Thriving businesses create jobs, add tax revenues, and drive tourist opportunities. I want to help create an environment that is supportive to our fantastic local businesses and attractive to folks looking to start or relocate their business in this region.
The more we can do this in a way that allows for everyone to participate, the more we can strengthen our entire community in the process.
