  • Representative Drew Hansen has been a solid leader in the legislature. As a dad with two young kids, Hansen has been passionate about school funding since before he was elected. He has fought for all-day Kindergarten and co-sponsored legislation to help non-traditional high school students down a promising career path. Hansen has also been a champion of jobs in his district, including his sponsorship of a bill that helps train residents for careers as firefighters. His opponent is conservative James Olsen, a far-right Tea Party candidate who does not support women's private pregnancy decisions. Drew Hansen is the clear choice in this race.
