Arthur C. Olivier (born August 24, 1957) is an American politician who was the Libertarian candidate for Vice President of the United States in the 2000 U.S. presidential election as the running mate of presidential candidate Harry Browne.[1]
Olivier later unsuccessfully ran in the 2024 Libertarian Party presidential primaries for the party's presidential nomination.[2][3] Olivier served as a councilman (1994–1997), mayor pro tempore (1997–1998) and mayor (1998–1999) of Bellflower, California, a Los Angeles suburb with 77,000 residents. During his five years on the Bellflower City Council (1994–1999), Olivier privatized the city's tree trimming, crossing guards, street sweeping and building department. He eliminated the city's lighting tax assessment and did not allow eminent domain to be exercised while on the council.
A graduate of Cerritos College with a degree in Design Technology, Olivier is a realtor with Cogburn Realty.
