Also in this race are Phil Cornell, Brenden Clerget, and David Ross. Cornell appears to have suspended his campaign as of July 4th due to a family issue. Clerget is a web developer and business consultant who wants to increase transparency between the city government and residents of Olympia. He also claims the crime rate in Olympia is rising quickly and wants to curb that with new measures. Ross owns a local health club and previously worked as Thurston/Mason County's Homeless Outreach Case Manager. His website states he is running for mayor because, "it is time to stop abandoning our downtown and giving Olympia over to lawlessness, chaos, and addiction."
