Nathaniel Jones is a longtime progressive voice on the Olympia City Council who is challenging Selby because he believes she has not been accessible enough to the public. He cites the recent effort to put a homeless camp on Martin Way East and to push forward a redevelopment downtown as symbols of Selby moving too fast without including the residents or the council. On the council, Jones has been a solid vote for the environment and ensuring small businesses thrive in a local economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few. He pledges as mayor to put people ahead of fossil fuel profits and supports 100 percent clean electricity for Washington. Jones has more support from our progressive partners, especially local labor unions.
