Supporting Our Candidates

Volunteer Opportunities for Our Port Commissioner Candidate Joel Hansen!

Joel Hansen is running for Port of Olympia Commissioner and needs our help. Olympia Indivisible has endorsed Joel as a candidate because of his extensive pertinent experience and commitment to developing an environmentally sustainable economy based on clean energy, living wage jobs and accountability to taxpayers.

Volunteer Opportunities

We have a variety of opportunities, everything from communications and boosting, to organizing events.

To volunteer with the Joel Hansen for Port of Olympia campaign, you can visit www.votejoel.org and sign up to volunteer, at which point the campaign will reach out to connect with you for volunteer opportunities.
You can also visit the Thurston County Democratic Women’s Head Quarters at 1014 4th Ave E, Olympia, WA 98506 to pick up a literature pack for canvassing.
If canvassing isn’t right for you, you can also connect with the campaign via email to find out what other options are available at Info@votejoel.org

OI’s Lacey Residents - See How Carolyn Cox, Running for Lacey City Council, Stands on Transportation

Intercity Transportation and Complete Streets Program

“As chair of the Intercity Transit Authority, I want to work to restore service to pre-pandemic levels. I also want to grow the transit system to meet public needs and make it more convenient and environmentally friendly. I’m proud of the work I’ve done on the Transit Authority to help bring service to Northeast Lacey and systemwide improvements.

I also support Lacey’s “complete streets” program, which includes sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and other amenities to encourage residents to get out of their vehicles and walk or ride bikes to their destination.”
