Well, folks, those of us in Northeast Wisconsin got the candidate we wanted. Tom Nelson announced today that he will be running for the vacant WI-08 seat in the House of Representatives. This announcement gives Dems a real shot at this light-red district.
Tom has won in light-red areas before. He was in the Wisconsin Assembly from 2005-2011 from a district that was red before and after him. He has some name recognition from a 2010 run for Lieutenant Governor, and for the past five years has occupied the non-partisan Outagamie County Coordinator position.
Oh, and he also happens to be an old high school classmate of mine.
Tom has always been one of the good guys. He’s incredibly smart, has very little discernible ego, and always has time to listen to what you have to say. Please help me in supporting his campaign.
