Rollie Olson

Rollie Olson, Program Manager, supports the Democracy and Bridgebuilding Initiatives at Interfaith America. Before joining the team, Rollie spent five years working for Congressman Dean Phillips (MN-03), both in his election and as Congressional staff focused on stakeholder outreach, constituent services, and finding common ground with constituents across backgrounds and ideologies. After a stint in Christian mission work abroad, he obtained degrees in International Relations and Political Science from Bethel University and is currently completing an MPA from Metro State University. Rollie is motivated by Interfaith America’s vision to build a healthy, religiously diverse democracy and believes in using the public square as an avenue to serve our neighbors, even if we disagree with them.
