City Council Member Lisa Olson Will Seek Republican District 38 Nomination at June Primary

Long-time City Council Member Lisa Olson has been denied membership in Minot’s District 38 Republican Party due to a four-year-old social media post in which she encouraged women to become more engaged in politics. District Chairman Roger Neshem confirmed to KX News that party leadership had voted to deny her membership. Olson announced her intent to bypass the District’s endorsing process and seek the Republican nomination at the June 11 primary election. KX News has the full story.
