Nancy Chambers
Nancy Chambers retired to the Olympic Peninsula from Northern Virginia, trading the Shenandoah Mountains for the Olympics, the Atlantic Ocean for the Pacific, and “the other Washington”, D.C. for Washington State.
Nancy’s core beliefs are that “individuals” are “interdependent”—and, that the rules of Kindergarten could be applied to individuals and groups to get along together in life—share your toys, include everyone in play, use polite words, and -if there is a problem-go to the talking chairs to work it out.
Nancy had worked extensively with children and families, and has found that working through/in the political arena to pass public policy and legislation helps insure a more level playing field for the greater good.
