Petersburg Endorses Tom Sexton

I have had the honor of serving this district for 12 years and your support has been greatly appreciated.   I believe Tom Sexton is the best candidate to garner that same support and who will serve this district extremely well.

His 26+ years of commendable combat & military service indicates his willingness to fight for our constitutional rights and freedoms. His unwavering support of pro-life and 2nd Amendment rights align with the core values of this district. He has been endorsed by the Mn Police & Peace Officers Assoc. showing his commitment to law enforcement. He is a family man with deep rooted family core values.

He has been a member of the Waseca City Planning Commission and current chair of the 4th of July Lakefest in Waseca showing his community involvement and understanding of local politics. He gives back to his community and knows how important involvement is.

Tom’s experience as Sr Educator at the US Army War College proves his ability to educate other legislators on the beliefs and needs of this district. His ability to listen and understand other’s needs has made him a great educator. The perfect person to represent us in St Paul.

For all these reasons I believe Tom is the best candidate and I highly endorse him for your vote on August 13. Please vote for Tom Sexton in the primary.
