Rory Summerson is running in 2020 to serve as Thurston County Commissioner (D1).

• Editor’s note: Last week, I had the distinct pleasure to meet and sit down in Yelm for an hour conversation with Rory, learn about his platform, background, and passion for public service. I was impressed with his command of the facts, the issues, and a clear vision for working on some challenging problems. I am pleased to introduce to Yelm Community Blog readers Rory Summerson for Thurston County Commission 2020 (D1).
• Rory shared this for Yelm Blog readers: “I come from a rural community, and know the heart they have” [referencing SE Thurston communities]. “We have a lot of big challenges ahead, everything from the Houseless to traffic. We need to be doing everything we can to strengthen Thurston’s economy in the uncertain times ahead. Working together, we can!” 

From Elect Rory Summerson:

“Hello! I’m Rory Summerson and I’m running to serve as your Thurston County Commissioner (D1). 

“I love this county and its people, so I want to ensure we preserve our history and lands, while providing a sustainable future for our children.

“I believe we need a balanced discussion with all Thurston county citizens, especially those directly inheriting the impacts of our decisions. Together, we’ll work towards what matters most to our families: Good schools for our kids, roads and public transport that get us where we need to go, and a thriving local economy focusing on green jobs. 

“So, Join me & vote Rory! 

“Let’s create positive change in our community, together!”
