| Peoples of the Bus |
Toby Crittenden wears many hats. No, really. He has a ton of hats. In fact, some people think he has too many. Luckily, none of those people work for the Bus, where Toby is on the outreach team. He helps coordinate the voter registration program, organizes Bus trips, and is the liaison between the Bus and the music world. Having spent a considerable amount of time working on transportation issues in Seattle, Toby is proud that a Bus is the agent of change in Washington. He is also proud that he has personally taught Wendy Ripp three new dance moves in the last month. toby [at] washingtonbus [dot] org 
Mallory Gitt grew up in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, climbing trees and doing math problems for fun. She finally learned what a “representative democracy” is at the age of 17, and has been enthralled by politics ever since. Since graduating from Seattle University in June 2009, Mallory has been a PowerCorps fellow, directed the field game for a victorious local campaign, and taken a second ride on the Bus as its development luminary…all within six months. When not working to democratize democracy, Mallory indulges her INTJ personality by reading, running, and contemplating. Nothing makes her happier than soul music, ginger tea, and a good boutique.mallory [at] washingtonbus [dot] org 
Thomas Goldstein is most famous for a billboard championing his 1997 campaign for Seattle City Council that lived high above a major thoroughfare five years after his defeat. Thank goodness Thomas brings other attributes to the Bus as the head honcho. He knows a lot of young people, since he founded one of the hippest youth mentoring programs anywhere--the Service Board --in 1995 and ran it until 2006. He's been known to ride his bike, say, around Mount Rainier just for fun. And can be found every Wednesday in the warmer months prowling the fresh produce at the farmers market near his Columbia City home. thomas [at] washingtonbus [dot] org 
Sarah Nason grew up in Michigan when the Pistons were the "Bad Boys," the Tigers actually won a world series and the funkmaster George Clinton lived right down the road. Sarah loves the monthly giving program because it is the best way to give to the Bus (hint, hint). Sarah joined the Bus because she believes in mobilizing and energizing our community and ourselves. She loves to snowboard, her political hero is her Grandma Esther, her favorite food is candy corn and she thinks her co-workers are hilarious. sarah [at] washingtonbus [dot] org 
Sonny Nguyen is the Bus’s Intern Coordinator, giving him the responsibility of coordinating interns. He showed up as a volunteer on the Bus’s first Bus Trip, and never left. He drew on all the walls in the Bus’s original HQ, and was out on the pavement with one of the first stacks of Bus stickers. Nowadays, he helps to engage other young people across the state by being cool and doing cool stuff with the Bus’s all-star team of high school interns. In his spare time, Sonny likes to bake peanut-butter brownies and slay zombie hordes via video games. sonny [at] washingtonbus [dot] org
Mollie Price was hit by the Oregon bus in the summer of 2007 where she spent 10 weeks in political campaign bootcamp as a PolitiCorps Fellow. She has since transferred to a new line and hopped on board the Washington Bus.
A Seattle native, Mollie recently graduated from Whitman College in Walla….Walla Washington, where she spent four years biking through amber waves of grain, admiring the purpleish blue mountains’ majesty, and singing opera. Loudly. mollie [at] washingtonbus [dot] org |
