Nisqually Tribal Elder Bob Iyall Launches Campaign For Olympia Port Commissioner, District 2

June 28, 2021 (Olympia, Washington) — Bob Iyall has announced his candidacy for Olympia Port Commissioner, District 2. The Port of Olympia is a municipal corporation whose commissioners set policies and agendas. Once elected, each commissioner represents one of three districts in Thurston County and serves a 4-year term.

Bob’s intentions as District 2 Port Commissioner include refocusing the purpose and vision of the port, reviewing the current port plan to ensure efficiency in post-pandemic operations, carrying out the Port’s responsibility to heal parts of the local environment and maximizing community benefits while minimizing tax-payer support.
