Ryan Mello has loads of experience with politics and governance in the City of Tacoma, but now he’s moved to a bigger, more partisan, arena in the County. Ryan was sworn in as a Pierce County Councilmember earlier this year, and sat down with host Evelyn Lopez to talk about his priorities for moving the County through the changing phases of the COVID 19 pandemic, working on housing, and preventing escalating homelessness.
There are serious issues facing our region — lack of affordable housing options, rising homelessness, reviewing and reforming our criminal justice and policing practices, and making policy and planning decisions that will provide the best quality of life in our cities and rural areas into the future. Listen to Ryan’s ideas and let us know what you think!
Ryan is very responsive to email, and you can reach him here: ryan.mello@piercecountywa.gov
