Robert Vanderpool for Olympia City Council, Position 6
In his first term on the council, Robert has demonstrated principled, forward-thinking leadership rooted in equity, public engagement, and practical solutions.
Robert is a proud WFSE member who champions reparative justice and Black homeownership. He’s a tireless advocate for affordable housing and expanded transit. Robert doesn’t just talk about progressive values, he writes them into law. His resolution urging federal and state commissions to study reparations reflects a rare willingness to confront historical injustice with clarity and courage. His support for mixed-income housing and flexible development shows he understands the systemic nature of Olympia’s housing crisis and is ready to act.
Olympia deserves leaders who listen deeply, act boldly, and build policy from the ground up. Robert Vanderpool is that kind of leader.
