Washington State Mayoral Leadership Series: Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards

Over the past year, a set of interlocking crises tested institutions at every level of government. In a new series, the Wire will be speaking to mayors across Washington State to reflect on a year of crisis.

In our first edition, we bring you a conversation with Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards. Elected in 2017 after serving for seven years as an at-large member of the City Council, Woodards is 39th mayor of Tacoma.

In this conversation, Reporter Michael Goldberg discusses with Mayor Woodards what she wanted to accomplish in 2020 before COVID-19 struck, how the pandemic has affected civic life in the city, systemic racism, how the media impacts the policymaking process, and how the past year has changed her view of mayoral leadership.
