| Description | One of the few Kenosha County residents to hold statewide political office in Wisconsin died last week.
Russell Olson was elected lieutenant governor in 1978, after eight terms of representing what is now the 66th Assembly District in western Kenosha County.
Olson, 86, died at his retirement home in Holmes Beach, Fla., on Wednesday.
A Bassett cattle farmer known for his conservative principles, Olson rose to the state’s No. 2 office on what was considered a dark horse Republican ticket with Lee Sherman Dreyfus. |
