I'm Dr. Marty Olsen, an OBGYN and native Appalachian. I'm running for Congress to protect the healthcare, environment, and jobs of all the wonderful people in Tennessee's First Congressional District. I was motivated to enter the race by my belief that all Americans--especially those in rural East Tennessee, ought to have access to affordable, quality healthcare.

Throughout my career, I've been at the front lines of opioid epidemic. As a physician that regularly treats with pregnant women addicted to opioids, I see the human cost of this crisis and how it affects the most fragile populations.

In Washington, I would push for greater support for struggling local economies of rural America. Here in East Tennessee, this includes keeping our ecotourism economy thriving by ensuring a healthy environment. In the coming months, I'll be talking about policy that grows local economies from within the community. In Congress, I would push for new measures supporting start-ups, small business ownership, and entrepreneurs.

I look forward to your questions!
