SECOND DOWN – FUMBLE. CONGRESSMAN OLSON IS MIA FOR SECOND FORUM

On President’s Day, February 20, during lunchtime—long before all flights back to Washington ended—was the second Congressional forum for District 22, hosted by the Alvin-Manvel Chambers of Commerce, held at Grace United Methodist Church in Manvel. While Barbara J. Carlson again arrived early and was prepared, unfortunately, Olson was a second-time no show, again a great disservice to the district. Both Alvin and Manvel members went to great lengths in time, manpower and expense in preparation for this all-important forum.

Once again, Carlson easily carried the football to the end zone. Her candor, her integrity and her excellent leadership experience arms her with what it takes to take on Washington and lead our country into a better tomorrow.  “You were unbelievable!” a new supporter stated.  A candidate running in District 14 afterward told Carlson, “Fantastic! You continue to launch the grenades at Olson’s poor leadership and voting record. It’s time that he is replaced with a courageous leader.”

Carlson, a widow, a mother of two, a small business owner (of numerous businesses), a recipient of the prestigious National Sales Leadership Award with Oracle Corporation (the only employee even to this date at her level to receive this award), one who has risen above enormous tragedy in her life and accomplished goals that haven’t been met on a national scale is now courageously stepping up to go to Washington and fight for our beloved nation. “I am listening to the constituents across the district.

People are fed up that Olson is not respecting the Constitution. He insulated himself in healthcare protection and has left us out to dry while spending with no remorse. It’s not his money, so what does he care?” Carlson reiterated what she’s heard out on the campaign trail. Again Carlson is sending the message to the establishment incumbent, “I’ve walked in the shoes as a widow. I understand what you are doing to Social Security. It’s despicable. It’s time that Americans close our checkbooks, roll up our sleeves and send a true leader to Washington.”
