Supervisor John Nelson
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.
Christian thanked Supervisor Nelson for his support. "I appreciate John's support and the perspective he brings from our years of working together on the County Board."
Supervisor Nelson's endorsement is based on his experience working with Christian in county government, where they have served together on the Sheboygan County Board.
