Endorsements
People and organizations across District 9 have chosen to publicly support Christian Ellis and his campaign for State Senate.
Every endorsement is personal. People come to Christian through different parts of his life and work, including community involvement, local government, small business, youth soccer, and the campaign itself.
What they share is a willingness to put their own name behind his candidacy and publicly explain why they support him.
Why people are standing with Christian
Christian believes public service starts with listening, taking responsibility, and being willing to make decisions based on what he believes will serve the community.
People who support his campaign may know him from different parts of his life and may have different reasons for doing so. Their perspectives are their own.
Endorsements provide another way to understand Christian as a person and public servant: through the experiences of people who have worked with him, served alongside him, known him in the community, or gotten to know him during the campaign.
What an endorsement means
An endorsement is more than a name on a list. It is someone choosing to put their own reputation behind a candidate and publicly asking others to take a closer look.
Some supporters know Christian through his work in the community. Others have worked with him, served alongside him, coached with him, done business with him, or gotten to know him through the campaign.
Their reasons are their own. Christian is grateful to every person who has chosen to stand with him, and he does not take that support for granted.
Trust is earned over time. An endorsement is someone saying they have seen enough to put their name behind it.
