Read moreSince being a teenager, Violet Olds has always been involved in their community. From volunteering to working in government to running for office, they feel like they’ve done it all. While they started their “political” career as a young Libertarian, Violet has lived a life and has grown and matured into something far more left-leaning. They ran for office in a non-partisan race and it, in true Florida fashion, ended up in a recount (year 2000 joke for ya). Since then, they have had a successful career in emergency management, helping to restore and fund damaged public infrastructure after natural disasters. Violet left government for a career in tech/startups and has returned to government work to manage technical implementation projects. Violet holds a Master of Public Administration, a BA in Political Science, and a certificate in Inclusive Leadership. Violet is also a former member of the Bullitt County Democratic Party’s Executive Committee and currently works with the Louisville DSA on transit and electoral projects. Violet is a single parent of an AuDHD kiddo who is pretty neat. They are an elder millennial and a Daughter of the American Revolution who lived in Florida, West Virginia, NYC, and now calls Kentucky home.
