Olsen's campaign website stated the following:

Our Constitution is Our Strength

Let's all work together with civility and common sense to protect and uphold our Constitution and to ensure that our rights are protected and restored, and that our economy and educational systems are working for everybody.

Term Limits

For far too long, Congress has been an insider's game. Many of the congresspeople have been in their positions for far too long. We need Term Limits now. Term Limits would reduce corruption, ensure a steady flow of new voices and new ideas, foster vigorous debate, and counterbalance the incredible advantages that incumbents enjoy. The top goal of my campaign is to institute term limits in the US Congress because putting term limits in place would automatically fix, or at least improve, many of the other problems facing our country today.

Reduce the National Debt

The national debt is currently somewhere above $30.3 TRILLION dollars. This works out to approximately 125% of the gross domestic product. To put it bluntly: we are in danger because we are spending too much. The future of the United States is in danger because we are spending ourselves into oblivion. We need to reduce the debt now, or we risk losing our future.

Education Reform

Education is one of the foundations of citizenship. It’s time to ensure that all of our youth learn and excel in the fundamentals of reading, writing, and math. We must teach our kids how to think, not what to think. We spend an enormous amount of money on failing schools. It’s time to fix our schools!

Freedom of Speech

Freedom of speech is the foundation of democracy. Our culture has wandered into a swamp of “political correctness” and “cancel culture” we must refocus on the idea that free speech and vigorous debate should always be welcomed even when we don’t totally agree. Free speech and a free press are two of the most precious and important rights that we hold dear.[2]
