Councilor Molly Olson

Molly Olson represents District 3. She was selected by the City Council on December 19 and sworn into office on December 28th by City Recorder Sue Ryan. 

Molly is a native Oregonian who has lived in Newberg since 2014. She spent many years working internationally for Intel including spending time living in a village in Ireland while managing the European Intel Year 2000 program.  She believes that economic development coupled with evidence based assistance programs is the surest way to help all residents of our city thrive. She has volunteered on the Budget Committee and the Urban Renewal committee in order to gain an understanding of the challenges we face. She has worked hard to help downtown Newberg shine doing everything from climbing on top of downtown buildings installing lights to pressure washing the sidewalks.  She and her husband Steve Olson live downtown and have two grown sons and one grandchild.

District 3 is generally located in southwest Newberg south of downtown. Fifth Street is the northern boundary west of River Street. First Street is the northern boundary between River Street and Hess Creek. East of Hess Creek the north and east boundary follows First Street, Parkview Drive, Second Street, Church Street, Third Street and Everest Street. The district includes all land generally south and west of these lines and within the city limits.
