Meet Dr. Ollie McCaulley, running for California State Senate, District 23

The 23rd District covers portions of Riverside, San Bernardino, and Los Angeles Counties.

From military veteran to police officer and CEO, Dr. Ollie McCaulley’s diverse life journey has sculpted him into the person he is today—a compassionate leader committed to fostering unity, trust, and equity within his community through honest representation and unwavering leadership.

In Ollie, we find a candidate driven by a calling to protect and serve, rather than just being another politician.

What sets Ollie apart is his unwavering commitment to transcending the often divisive world of politics. He envisions a political landscape where collaboration and unity take precedence over partisan divides. His vision extends beyond words; it’s about rebuilding trust and ensuring that every citizen’s voice, regardless of their political affiliation, is not just heard but valued highly.

Ollie’s dedication to his constituents is evident in his approach to addressing pressing issues. He passionately advocates for restoring trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. He’s determined to implement comprehensive training for law enforcement officers, with the goal of rebuilding confidence and fostering better community-police relations.

In Ollie’s vision for the future, we see a community that is less burdened and more unified. He aspires to see fewer people struggling on the streets alongside a transformed relationship between law enforcement and the public. Ollie seeks to create an environment where police are not just seen as protectors, but as integral members of the community, leading to a reduction in tensions and an increase in safety.

But Ollie’s vision doesn’t stop there. His genuine concern for the well-being of his constituents is evident in his advocacy for vocational education and trade schools. He recognizes that traditional college education isn’t the path for everyone and envisions a future where accessible skill development leads to stable careers and improved economic prospects for those in his district.

When Ollie addresses the issue of rising energy costs, it’s not just about statistics and numbers. He questions a system where everyday citizens bear the financial burden while corporate CEOs reap hefty bonuses. His commitment lies in reshaping this system into one that alleviates the financial strain on hardworking individuals.

Away from the world of politics, Ollie’s personal side shines brightly. He affectionately talks about his daughter’s German Shepherd— who he calls his “granddaughter”! He also reveals his past as a competitive full-contact martial artist and his love for parachuting that comes from his experience in the Marine Corps.

In essence, Dr. Ollie McCaulley is a passionate and dedicated community servant who seeks to connect with and represent his community on a meaningful level. His diverse life experiences, unwavering commitment to unity, and genuine concern for the well-being of his constituents make him a candidate who stands out from the crowd.
