Hello & Welcome to the online home of Senate Majority Leader Russell Olson

Friends,

It is my honor to serve both the great state of South Dakota and good people of District 8, as your state Senator and South Dakota’s Senate Majority Leader. As a lifetime South Dakotan it is my pleasure to work diligently to keep South Dakota on a path of success and continued growth.

I also have the privilege of working to better our state as a member of the Legislative Procedure and State Affairs Committees; as well as serving on the State Tribal Relations Committee. All of which are imperative to the economic engines that fuel District 8, and I am proud of the work I have done to contribute to the continued excellence of our communities.

I have introduced and passed legislation beneficial to the people of South Dakota on many levels including K-12 Education, key ethanol legislation, Medicaid funding, and child custody. I don’t travel to Pierre simply to pass laws. However, I have an outstanding record of getting the bills I sponsor, passed into law.

I, along with my family; would like to thank you for the opportunity to serve you in Pierre and thank you for your continued support as I look forward to continuing to serve you in the State Senate.

As your State Senator, I pride myself on the manner in which I handle constituent issues; as a South Dakotan you play a critical part in the legislative process. If you ever have any advice or concerts please feel free to contact me. And please visit my Facebook page, and follow me on Twitter to stay up to date with everything going on at our State’s Capitol.

Russell Olson
