I will vote for Vivian Olson for Edmonds City Council. Ms. Olson’s academic credentials alone merit serious consideration. She is an Air Force Academy graduate with an additional graduate degree in aeronautical science, and other advanced education including contracting, contract law and accounting. She possesses a superb intellect and a strong educational foundation in leadership and management. Her Air Force assignments culminating as the onsite contract administrator at a major aerospace company, indicate exceptional performance in highly demanding positions. Since leaving the Air Force, she has continued her success in business, while raising a family in Edmonds, and serving the community in volunteer positions for many years.
I met Ms. Olson as she was researching the position of Edmonds City councilmember. She has actively researched issues the council will be expected to address in the coming months and years. Her research is thorough, objective, and provides a solid basis for decision making. She listens respectfully to all sides, does her own research, and establishes her position based on the facts available. She understands that it sometimes takes courage to make a decision based on fact rather than emotion.
Vivian Olson is an exceptional candidate for the Edmonds City Council. She is highly intelligent, resourceful and capable. She is one of those outstanding individuals willing to serve their community for no reason other than to make it a better place in which to live. I support her election to the Edmonds City Council in the strongest terms.
