Olson would make great state senator

Sen. Olson! That name has a nice ring to it because it is backed by integrity, a strong work ethic and a genuine interest in the welfare of others. I’ve had the pleasure of teaching with Susanne Olson for 13 years at Sultan High School. She is a social studies teacher who knows how to make the course applicable to her students. Students role play, debate and learn the importance of government in their daily lives in her classroom. She is a good listener who is willing to hear opposing views. Susanne is an excellent facilitator, comfortable as a team player or moderator. She will easily transfer these skills to the Senate floor.

Susanne is concerned about education and health care, two very important issues in our community. She supports education at all levels, and strives to improve access to health care for all ages. A vote for Susanne will ensure quality government and that all voices will be heard.
