Eric Olson

For State House District 11B

Welcome! I am Eric Olson and I am running to be the next Representative from Minnesota State House District 11B and I hope to earn your vote in the 2024 election. For those who do not yet know me, I look forward to meeting you in the campaign and learning what we can build together for our district. I grew up in Pine City. The supportive community gave me a place to grow securely and the experiences that prepared me to face the world. While I have lived many other places in my adult life, I have returned here because I value what our area is and what it can be. I am running in large part because I want to see our communities grow and thrive.

Vision

I stand for unity and respect—believing that we are One District, One State, and One Nation. I’m running to work for our district, not to fight for it. I’m dedicated to fostering a community where every voice is heard, and we build real solutions together.

Policies

Economic Equality: As digitalization and automation reshape our economy, I’m committed to ensuring that opportunity and prosperity reach everyone in our district.

Environmental Protection: Climate change is impacting Minnesota now, with shorter winters, dry spells, and intense rains. I believe adapting to this reality is essential, especially as water remains at the heart of Minnesota’s future.

The Leadership Our District Needs

In these days of loud division and anger, you’ll find that I am a different type of candidate. Perhaps the greatest founding idea of our nation was that 13 distinct colonies with their own people, ideas, and values could agree to make one nation. By pulling from the strengths of each and allowing the free sharing of ideas to refine our weaknesses we become not just greater, but better over time. They felt this strongly enough that the original motto of our nation was “From Many, One“.
