Cyrus’ Priorities
Growing Cargo Volume to Supporting Working Families
The Port must remain competitive in a rapidly shifting global trade environment. I will focus on bringing new tonnage through Tacoma by strengthening infrastructure, attracting sustainable maritime business, and ensuring that growth translates into living-wage union jobs for local workers while positioning our Port as a premier hub for commerce and opportunity.
Infrastructure Modernization to support Environmental Accountability
Many of the Port’s road, rail, and terminal systems need upgrades to reduce congestion and pollution. I will prioritize investments in clean technology to ensure that industrial polluters are held responsible for cleanup costs, not taxpayers.
Public Trust Through Ethical Governance
The Port must serve the public, not private interests. I will work to ensure transparency in decision-making, and build stronger partnerships with labor, the Puyallup Tribe, and local governments. Voters deserve principled leadership that listens, leads, and delivers for all of Pierce County.
