Thanks for taking the time to visit my web page! I am excited about the opportunity to serve you in the State Legislature!

I am not a life long politician, but I am an experienced, honest East County working stiff who has the courage and the determination to champion East County values in the Oregon House of Representatives.

This website is designed to be an opportunity for me to share my views, gather comments on issues important to you, keep the community up-to-date on news about the campaign, and let you know how we can work together to ensure that East County is a great place to live, raise a family, work and do business.

While successful in my nine years on the Reynolds School Board, I see that we (East County residents) are facing serious problems beyond the scope of the public school system. The need for living-wage jobs, transportation investments that support business growth, and enhanced public safety impact the quality of life in our neighborhoods as well as the opportunities we are able to offer our children. Clearly, East County needs strong, experienced leadership in order to address these challenges and take advantage of the opportunities represented by our neighborhoods, geography, schools, and diverse citizenry.

As your State Legislator I will introduce ideas, champion issues, and reflect priorities that are important to ensuring a prosperous East County. I will legislate from an open mind thoughtfully considering each issue and not acting in lock-step with any interest.

Let me know how you think state government ought to serve citizens of East County. YOUR thoughts, ideas, and comments will help me better represent you and ensure that I address issues important to East County when I get to Salem.

John Nelsen

Candidate for State Representative
