Olsen says unsuccessful campaign for sewer board hasn't derailed campaign for state House
James Olsen says his unsuccessful campaign for the Kitsap County Sewer District 7 board on Bainbridge Island has not derailed his campaign for 23rd District state House of Representatives in 2012. Olsen received 50 votes to winner Chris Dew’s 214. But Olsen says the race was just a warmup for 2012; he filed his declaration of candidacy for the House one week after he filed his declaration of candidacy for the Sewer District board.
