City Council Candidates Speak Out on Environmental Issues and Parks Funding (July 23)

In advance of the upcoming elections for Olympia Mayor and two City Council positions, the LBA Woods Park Coalition e-mailed a questionnaire to the eight candidates to learn their thoughts on the most pressing local environmental issues and the future of our city parks and parks funding.

Here are the responses we received by July 14th–a deadline that allows us to share candidate’s answers with you in time for the Primary election (by Aug. 4th). As of July 20, we have received four responses. Click on the candidate’s name to read their responses.

Candidates for Olympia City Council, Position 2:

Judy Bardin                (Completed questionnaire received July 14, 2015)

Candidates for Olympia City Council, Position 3:

Nathaniel Jones          (Completed questionnaire received July 12, 2015)

Rafael Ruiz                 (Completed questionnaire received July 3, 2015)

Please note: Because only two candidates (Nathaniel Jones and Rafael Ruiz) are running for City Council Position #3, their names do not appear on the Primary ballot; they move directly to the General Election ballot in November.
