Kicking off an ongoing series of personal interviews with Olympia City Council candidates, Steve Langer joined “You Make Olympia” host Mathias Eichler for a conversation about shaking up downtown, promoting tourism and challenging residents to make their city “green.”

Langer is an existing member of Olympia’s City Council, appointed in June 2010 to fill Position 7 when it was vacated by Joe Hyer. He is running for the council seat Craig Ottavelli will vacate, which includes a four-year term.
