Former Homeland Security and counterterrorism advisor to Vice president mike pence

Having grown up the daughter of gun owners, Olivia was trained on how to properly handle and store a gun early in life and throughout her career. The former Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Advisor to Vice President Mike Pence is a proud defender of Second Amendment rights for law-abiding gun owners; but she is also passionate about protecting Americans from the rampant increase in gun-related violence across our country. As a former career national security official who worked on homeland security efforts in the aftermath of numerous mass shootings and violent gun crimes, she joined 97Percent to support a nonpartisan, collaborative approach to common sense gun reform.
