With her early success, she founded her first charity Makeover for a Cause where she works with other nonprofits to donate makeovers. Ola has helped countless teenagers battling cancer, taking them shopping and giving them hair and makeup makeovers to restore their confidence. Ola went on to establish her fashion design company, Ola Style. She remained committed to giving back to the communities she serves and has done numerous charity fashion shows around the country.
Ola co-founded the Middle East Women’s Coalition, where she has spoken on Capitol Hill about critical issues facing our country, and which has endorsed President Trump’s reelection. Ola sits on the board of several additional organizations as well, and has been a dedicated volunteer at nursing homes, assisting hurricane relief efforts, and she also donates makeovers to disable veterans and their families every year. Ola is a graduate of Mairst College, where she received her degree in Communications. Ola began her career as a Production Assistant with Fox TV and worked in Marketing at the F.D. Roosevelt Museum in Hyde Park. She has also produced and directed several documentaries on a variety of topics, including Middle Eastern affairs and child psychology. Ola is the proud mother of three boys.
The Jordan Report conducted the following interview with Ola via Email.
If elected, what are your priorities - are you focusing on local, national, or international issues? if all of them, can you indicate one of each as a priority?
If elected I will focusing on my district in NY and the issues we have especially after Covid-19. Also, national and international issues as we are working on being independent from China so now is the time to bring manufacturing companies back in America and get the economy stimulated.
What makes you run in the primary?
I decided to run for Congress as I was not happy with the direction America is going in. I live in the greatest country in the world and we have to protect the constitution and our freedom. I decided to run in the primary because of all the support I had in the district from farmers to small business owners who were ready for change and I don't quite. I try harder for our Country is on the line and as an outsider I am confident working together we can make some positive changes. I am endorsed by NY State Conservative party, NRA endorsed, NY police troopers and the next is President Trump endorsement.
If won, in November, how proud will you be as the first Jordanian American in the Congress?
Very proud for I know that my family would be proud, and I pray to always make them proud.
How you can improve the US assistance to Jordan and how to sustain the cooperation between both countries. Etc.
Ola- When I --God willing -- get to be a member of US Congress, Aid to Jordan is important as America has been generous with Jordan where in the past few years, Washington has given Jordan over $1 billion but it's important in boosting Jordanian security, followed by funds to service its public debt and help with its economy. Jordan's security assistance is a priority and needs to be funded properly as Jordan had always been a reliable ally. Keeping peaceful relationships with Jordan and Israel as Jordan has worked closely with Israel and America and keeping that relationship strong
