What We Do and Why It Matters We are your neighbors, friends, and family from across Thurston County, working as an official part of the Washington State Democrats to create meaningful change. Our focus is on local and state issues that directly impact our communities. From Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and just as important: our rural communities, we’re rolling up our sleeves to stand up for what matters, help our neighbors, and connect with each other. With an all-new board in 2025, it’s a fresh start and the perfect time to get involved.
Standing Up for Thurston County: We take action on the issues that matter most: fair housing, better schools, protecting our environment, and more, because these values reflect our belief in equality, opportunity, and community. A strong education system gives every child a chance to succeed. Safe, affordable housing ensures stability for all. Protecting our environment safeguards Thurston County’s natural beauty for future generations.
Bringing People Together: From meetings to informal coffee events to candidate events and fundraisers - we host events that build community and spark collaboration. We share updates and resources to make it easy for everyone to stay informed and involved. You can expect regular updates, a monthly newsletter, and a general meeting every month.
Shaping the Future: Democratic values like fairness, equity, and justice are at the heart of everything we do. They’re about ensuring that everyone - no matter where they come from, has a voice, a chance, and a future. In today’s divided political atmosphere, these values matter more than ever, and we need more people ready to stand up and make a difference.
