City of Tacoma press release.
TACOMA, Wash. – Olgy Diaz has officially sworn in to the Tacoma City Council At-Large Position 7, for a term to expire December 31, 2023. Council Member Diaz is the first Latina to serve on the City Council.
“I am humbled, grateful and honored for this opportunity to serve,” said Council Member Diaz. “Tacoma is such a beautiful, dynamic city and I look forward to working with our community as well as my City Council colleagues to achieve our shared goals.”
“History has been made,” said Mayor Victoria Woodards. “Not only do we now have our first Latina on the City Council, we now have six women on the Council, the most women to serve on the Council at one time. Also, there are now five BIPOC members on the City Council for the first time ever. I want to thank the community, once again, for providing feedback on all who applied for At-Large Position 7.”
With more than 15 years of experience in government, advocacy, and electoral politics, Council Member Diaz has professional and personal experience working with lawmakers in public policy development, and a deep understanding of public service and community outreach.

Another aggressive woke hefer raging to set her victims straight on who can take away their rights. If you ain’t born or believe up to her dicktates you deserve to be punished.
While the mayor is proud that there are 6 women including 5 BIPOC members of the clowncil, the demographics of the city’s leaders are in no way representative of the demographics of Tacoma’s population.
There are over 11,000 sales tax jurisdictions in the United States, with widely varying rates. Among major cities, Tacoma, Washington imposes the highest combined state and local sales tax rate, at 10.30 percent. The BIPOC Project aims to build authentic and lasting solidarity among Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), in order to undo Native invisibility, anti-Blackness, “dismantle white supremacy’ and advance racial “justice”. And obviously disarm all legal weapon owners to make more victims for their supporters. Population

Does this mean we’ll finally do something about crime?
As a decades-long businessman in taComa, I have never been so discriminated against or under-represented, as I am now under this regime of diversity, equity, and inclusion – which just happens to have excluded anyone who is white with a pair swinging.
I’ve visited your council chambers on several occasions.
What a hateful miserable experience.
You have purposely and wilfully created an imbalance of power that does not reflect the citizens of the city.
People are tired of being blamed for things we did not do, and attacked for simply being who we are.
We are tired of your victim mentality while you let repeat criminals prey on us because they look like you, emboldening their criminal minds and depriving them of a chance to reform.
You have become blind to your ego, ambition, and desire to accumulate more power over We the People.
This goes all the way to the top and has destroyed all faith, trust, and confidence in government institutions and the rule of law.
You clearly don’t understand the consequences of what you are creating and destroying at the same time.
When the puppet masters are finished with you, you will be discarded, and those campaign contributions you received from them will mean nothing.
By that time, a free America will be no more.
How much shame can you bear?
Well said Brian, it’s like the politicians in Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia are trying to turn us into Gotham City.
We need to take a serious look at voter fraud in this state.
