Rev. Nick Oloo
Candidate for State Representative District 5
Throughout my life, I have dedicated myself to serving others—as a pastor, educator, and community advocate. In these roles, I have walked alongside families facing real challenges: rising living costs, the struggle to afford childcare, the need for better opportunities for our youth, and the importance of supporting caregivers and small businesses. These experiences have shown me that many hardworking families are doing everything right, yet the systems meant to support them do not always work as they should. That is why I decided to step forward and run for public office.
