More than 150 people crowded into Tugboat Annie’s at the West Bay Marina Wednesday night, as former radio personality Dick Pust kicked off his campaign for mayor.

The room was crowded with elected officials and former elected officials. Former Olympia mayor Mark Foutch and former Washington Secretary of State Ralph Munro made the introductions and made the pitch for money.

Pust introduced Olympia Councilmember Karen Rogers, who is also running for Olympia mayor, and the two pledged to run a clean campaign.
