Welcome to JackieJo's Environment Website
Hi, my name is Jackie Jo. Why am I creating this website? I used to say, "Someone should do something!" And then I finally realized that someone could and should be me.
My concern is for every individual that lives in Thurston County.
Serving the community
has become a goal of mine. Currently, I serve on the Intercity Transit CAC (Citizen Advisory Committee). Additionally, I serve as the President of the Yelm Toastmasters. I am also a member of an advanced TM club (Toastmasters) in Olympia. I am one of the founders of Yelm Food Co-op currently serving on the Board of Directors as Vice President.
Am I qualified? You decide. I have more than 8 years in finance, over 10 years in purchasing, and 10 plus years experience in City government. Additionally, I have a strong background in IT and communications.
I will bring fresh ideas and inclusive concepts to the table for all of us.
Issue Points
- Environment - To protect our water, land and trees (sustainability)
- Property Tax - The process is too complicated. Let's make it simple.
- Land Use - The laws are too extreme. Balanced fairness is required.
- Preparedness - We live in times where the populous should be prepared for disasters and emergencies. JackieJo supports county participation ensuring the safety of every resident in Thurston County, including educating and encouraging emergency preparation for everyone.
- Alternative Energy - The use of alternative energies should be encouraged and rewarded.
