Meeting our community’s needs and challenges requires the experience, success, and dedication that I bring to City Council.  With your support I will continue working to maintain our high quality of life.

Four years ago I promised to focus on Parks, Protection, Potholes and Planning.  I delivered on those promises.  We opened this county’s first off-leash dog park, rebuilt Percival Landing, added a waterfront park on West Bay, and placed our artesian well into public ownership.  We built a new fire station, training center, and city hall.  We improved our roads, added sidewalks, three new roundabouts, and improved crossings downtown, on the southeast, and west side of town.  I chaired the Land Use and Environment Committee which designed an award winning Comprehensive Plan update process.

When re-elected, I will use my experience and success as the senior member of Council to keep improving the city we love.  I enthusiastically look forward to working in partnership with our state elected officials to preserve and restore Capitol Lake. I will continue to help those most in need and pursue ways to pay for essential public safety services.

I would appreciate your vote!

UPDATE: The Olympian Editorial Board strongly endorsed me on October 23, 2011, saying

Strub has been effective. She was a leader to build the fourth fire station, helped lead the effort to build the first dog park in the city, was instrumental in the creation of the transportation benefit area and on the social service side, was a supporter of finding a permanent home for Camp Quixote, South Sound’s tent city.

Looking ahead, she wants to get the city budget sustainable – with perhaps two voter-approved tax increases – get the Arts Space project funded and help turn Olympia into a destination city for people interested in the arts.

Strub has a clear vision and the outspoken personality to make it happen.
