Maggie Sanders, Port of Olympia Commissioner District 4
With collaboration and responsible environmental stewardship, we can implement proactive programs that help tackle the climate crisis and protect our land and waterways. I will integrate environmental policies and considerations into all aspects of the Port’s strategic planning and business decision-making. My goal is to strengthen the integrity and transparency of the public contracting process and the competitive nature of public procurement, as well as promote the efficient and transparent use of Port resources.
