Art was elected to the Bellflower city council in 1994 and became the mayor in 1998. During his five years on the city council, Olivier privatized Bellflower's tree trimming, crossing guards, street sweeping and the building department. He eliminated the city's lighting tax assessment and did not allow eminent domain to be exercised while on council.

Art was the 2006 Libertarian nominee for governor of California. The Schwarzenegger campaign was so afraid of an opponent that had more political experience that he and someone that cut taxes instead of raising them, they threatened or bribed anyone that had Art as a guest. Despite the interference, Art was on more talk radio shows than the other candidates combined.

1990 was Art's first campaign when he a ran as a Libertarian for state assembly. The 1994 incumbent in the 56th Assembly district, who ran for State Senate in 1996, promised Art a million dollars in campaign funds if Art ran as a Republican. Art turned it down since he did not enter politics to become beholden to special interest groups.
