COMMITTED TO IOWA
The Vision Behind the Campaign
Benjamin Olsen was born in Ames, Iowa. Olsen attended Iowa public schools and then went on to earn an associate's degree in science from DMACC in 2020. Olsen then transferred to Iowa State University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering in 2025.
His career experience includes working as a product order engineer with Emerson, working as a lubrication technician at George White Chevrolet, and as a page in the 87th Iowa General Assembly.
Drawing on these professional and educational experiences, his political journey is driven by a simple belief: that every Iowan deserves a reliable and transparent government that works as hard as they do.
With this belief at the core, Benjamin understands that the best solutions come from listening to the people. His campaign is a call to action for all who believe in the enduring promise of the state of Iowa.
