Editor’s note: The following is a press release from the Carolyn Robertson Harding mayoral campaign.

Buckley Chamber of Commerce President Carolyn Robertson Harding has announced that she will be run for Mayor of Buckley during the Aug. 5 election.

“I am proud and excited to announce my candidacy for Mayor of our great city,” Robertson Harding said in a press release. “I look forward to meeting residents, learning about their concerns, and finding common sense solutions to meet the most pressing needs in Buckley.”

Carolyn said she is running for mayor because her experience, service and proven results have prepared her to be an effective leader.

During her service at the Buckley Chamber, she increased membership, developed valuable resources for the business community and advocated for important member priorities with local, state and regional elected officials and policymakers. As mayor, she will bring this same dedication, management and responsible governance to leading the City of Buckley.

Carolyn believes elected officials should be transparent in their decision making, accessible to the people they represent, and accountable with taxpayer dollars.
