Beavercreek resident seeks Alan Olsen s senate seat
Grant Sharp of Beavercreek tries for appointment to Oregon Senate District 20.
Grant Sharp, a Beavercreek resident who is active in the Molalla community, is among 11 candidates seeking to fill the Oregon Senate District 20 seat vacated mid-term by Alan Olsen.
Olsen cited family concerns as the reason for his resignation and will be moving to Indiana to be closer to relatives. His resignation was effective Jan. 10, one day before the start of organizational days for the 2021 legislative session.
Now, the Oregon Republican Party will hold a convention via Zoom at 8 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, to begin the process of finding a replacement to fill the remaining two years of Olsen s term.
