Congressman Pete Olson 6302 Broadway St, Ste 220, Pearland 77581 (281) 485-4855 With the shift in the district lines of Texas Congressional District 22, Clear Lake’s loss is Pearland’s gain. Rep. Pete Olson (TX-22) has officially moved his congressional office to 6302 Broadway St., Ste. 220, Pearland. As a result of the newly drawn district lines, the Clear Lake area will become part of the 36th Congressional District on Jan. 1, and the Clear Lake office will be closed. Until then all calls will be forwarded to the Pearland office. Although Olson did not have the good fortune to be born in Texas, he got here as fast as he could. His family settled in Seabrook, Texas in 1972, where Olson grew up, graduated from Clear Lake High School, earned a B.A. from Rice University, and law degree from the University of Texas. On the day he completed the Texas bar examination, he took the oath of office for service in the United States Navy. After earning his Wings of Gold in March 1991, Olson had a decorated career flying the P-3C Orion, which is designed to track and destroy ballistic missile submarines. Olson was transferred to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1994 and a year later, was assigned as a naval liaison officer to the U.S. Senate. In 1998, Olson became a legislative aide to Texas Senator Phil Gramm. In 2002, newly elected Texas Senator John Cornyn appointed him as his first Chief of Staff. In 2005, Pete returned home to Texas, and in November 2008, the people of the 22nd District of Texas elected him to the 111th Congress. He was re-elected in 2010 and 2012. Olson said this is the first time Pearland has had a congressional office. “It’s an indication of the growth that we have had as a city here in Pearland,” Mayor Tom Reid said after the ceremonial ribbon cutting. If constituents don’t want to communicate by phone, email, website or fax, “I’ll be here and meet with them personally. If they want to talk to my staff about a specific issue, they’ll get the same service, but if it’s important to come here, come on,” Olson said. “This is not my office. It’s their office. They paid for it.” 2012 Business of the Year The purpose of the Business of the Year award is to recognize and honor an outstanding business that has demonstrated leadership, creativity, and integrity in operating a successful business in Pearland. 2012 Citizen of the Year The Pearland Chamber of Commerce annually recognizes an individual from within our area as an outstanding citizen.
