Dear Editor:
I am so pleased to see that Tim Nelson is running for the office of state senator.
I have known Tim ever since he was baptized at Braham Evangelical Lutheran Church where he’s been a life long member. He comes from a family rich in a history of farming and small business and strong family values.
I’ve had Tim as a student in my science class, and had the opportunity to observe Tim grow and develop into a fine young man. Over the past 35 some years that I’ve known Tim, I’ve found him to be smart, hard working, diligent in attending to details, very positive in his approach to interacting with people; basically Tim often sees problems as opportunities to make the world a better place.
He is a quiet, unassuming, humble person who seems to feel a responsibility to make our communities better places to live by people cooperating and working together for the common good. I feel Tim has all the fine qualities that would make him a fantastic state senator. I would encourage people to take a good look at Tim.
