    Christian was a student of mine at Lakeland University before he left to serve in the Marines in Iraq. Christian is a person of integrity and honesty. Someone who deeply strives to do the right thing. He loves his family, his community, and his country. I have no doubt he will lead in just such a fashion. Unlike most career politicians, Christian puts service to his constituents over getting & keeping power. Without hesitation, he has my vote.

    I have known Christian since we went to church together years ago and got reacquainted on the County Board. With the wide variety of things that county government is involved in, I have found Christian willing to learn about all aspects of issues throughout the county. Having county board experience would be very helpful to the State government and in helping them understand local issues and how state decisions affect local governments.

    During my time on the County Board I have found Christian to be well-prepared and informed on the issues before the board. He asks good questions and is more concerned with outcomes than with who gets credit for a good idea.

    I am writing to recommend Christian Ellis for the Wisconsin State Senate seat representing the 9th District. I serve with him on the Sheboygan County Board of Supervisors, and I have seen firsthand the kind of representative he is. Christian is an independent thinker. He is not afraid to ask tough questions, even when the answers are uncomfortable. He is a genuine person and a very good listener, and he consistently puts the well-being of his constituents ahead of any party line. I believe he will do very well representing the 9th District in Madison.

    I hereby fully endorse Christian Ellis to serve as State Senator for our District. Christian and I have served on the Sheboygan County Board for the past 4+ years and I have found that he is dedicated to serving our local community to the best of his ability. I especially appreciate the fact that he is running as an Independent candidate, not beholden to either of the major political parties. Independence from party platform allows him to vote based on how a particular issue has a positive impact on his constituents. His service in the military is proof that his focus is on service to our country and state. I encourage my fellow constituents to vote for a true independent, Christian Ellis.

    I am happy to support Christian Ellis for Wisconsin Senate. During his time serving on the County Board he has come to meetings prepared to deal with the issues at hand. He has approached issues in a nonpartisan manner and is not afraid to ask questions for clarification. I look forward to voting for him on November 3.
