Campaign Strategy, 1980

Arranged chronologically, this series documents Dagne Olsen's campaigns from 1980-1994. Correspondence, campaign material, financial information, and schedules are found for most years; also frequently included are surveys mailed to Olsen by special interest groups. These surveys document Olsen's feelings and positions on a number of issues. One of the most interesting pieces in this series, if not the entire collection, is found in Box 1, Folder 74. Entitled "Do I Run or Don't I?", this seven page document consists of Olsen's musings on whether or not to run for office in 1980. The impact this decision would play upon the Olsen family, as well as Dagne Olsen's "causes" (volunteer activities), is discussed.
