James Olsen’s 16 years as Navarro County Commissioner in Precinct 4 draws to an end at the end of this month.
Thursday afternoon, present commissioner’s court and former commissioner Kit Herrington, alongside Navarro County employees and friends were in attendance to celebrate the years of dedicated service Commissioner Olsen provided to the county.
Olsen began his career as Commissioner in 2006, and has seen precinct four through many obstacles, including the restoration of the historic courthouse. Navarro County Judge HM Davenport stated, “I’ve been asked at judge conferences before – ‘Are you able to work with your commissioners?’ It couldn’t be any better. I think we share a brotherly love for each other and the fact that we can accomplish things makes it all worthwhile.”
Navarro County Precinct 1 Commissioner Jason Grant stated, “He is a true Christian Conservative and has always put the citizens of Navarro County first.” Navarro County Precinct 3 Commissioner Eddie Moore stated, “James has always guided me and I’ve learned so much from him over the years.” Moore continued, “I will continue to ask ‘What would James Olsen do?’.
Former Precinct 1 Commissioner Kit Herrington stated, “He’s always had good common sense when it came to taking care of the county. I treasure my memories of working with James.”
Commissioner Olsen stated, “I appreciate the love and support of my whole family and my county family. It’s been a good team. It’s been an honor to serve the citizens of Navarro County.” Olsen closed his speech stating, “The whole duty is to fear God and heed His commandments. Wake up with that every day.”
Commissioner Olsen will hand the Precinct Four reigns to Commissioner-Elect David Brewer on January 1st when he is sworn into office. Olsen stated, “The county will be in very good hands with David Brewer, he is a good man.”
