Paid for by Committee to Elect Raymond Payne for Lacey City Council   RAYMOND PAYNE Share this site with your family, friends and neighbors: ELECT for  Lacey City Council   OUR CITY. OUR FUTURE. OUR TIME ELECT for  Lacey City Council   ELECT Privacy Policy Thank you for visiting and thank your for your interest in our campaign.  As you know, slowly Lacey, Washington is becoming “Any City, USA” with big box retail stores and strip malls on every corner and congested roadways.  And in the process there is no doubt we will lose our identity...and our soul. It’s apparent that the best way to find ourselves and find our future is by traveling to the past. Like our Forefathers, we’re called to boldly envision and invest for the future where those who come after us will reach back to our time and be thankful for our courage. Lacey has historically been known in the region for its natural beauty, small town feel, recreation and leisure, overall quality of life, and entrepreneurial spirit. We need to recapture that history, reputation and Pacific North West culture. If we can create a space in the global economy that uniquely identifies Lacey as a recreation, leisure and entrepreneurial capitol we will become a City worthy of Consideration, and as a City worthy of Consideration, we will naturally draw a vibrant, young creative class of citizens who are vital to growing existing, and attracting new business. We do not have to be Any City, USA. We are a special people in a special place challenged by current events but called to greatness. We’re an intellectually rich, highly motivated community and suffer from an embarrassing abundance of natural resources. And if we bind our various strands of expertise into the strong rope of unity and cooperation, there is little we cannot do. This is Our City, Our Future, Our Time, let’s seize this moment in history and make a difference, are you with me? Our Priorities: • Growing our local economy. • Improving traffic congestion. • Addressing youth homelessness. ACTION CENTER DONATE VOLUNTEER CALENDAR
