David Olson for State Rep Pos. 1
“David Olson has valuable experience as an 11-year member of Gig Harbor’s Peninsula School Board, where students post results well above average.”
Seattle Times Editorial Board 6/9/2024
David Olson is a retired U.S. Navy Chief Warrant Officer, a father of four, and a 12-year Peninsula School Board director who believes public service is about steady leadership and clear results for students. Raised in a small town, he learned early the value of hard work, integrity, and community—principles that carried him through his 28-year military career and still guide his approach today.

Katy Cornell for State Rep. Pos. 2
I am a lifelong Washingtonian, born and raised right here in the heart of Washington State. I grew up in Port Orchard and graduated from South Kitsap High School before settling in Gig Harbor. I’ve also traveled to more than 35 countries, which has shaped the way I see the world. This region is home in every sense of the word, and it has shaped who I am and why I’m running to serve.
I am a wife, mother, business owner and nonprofit leader. I’ve been married to my amazing husband for 18 years, and together we are raising our three beautiful children. Being a wife and mother has deeply influenced how I see the needs of our community — from education and safety to opportunity and affordability. My family is my greatest joy and the driving force behind my commitment to build a better future for every family in our district.
