Nicollet county commissioners election

To the editor: I would like to recommend reelecting John Luepke for Nicollet County Commissioner. We recently had a County Drainage Ditch project cross our property on Swan Lake. John made numerous visits to the site, and was very informative and helpful with the project planning. At the end we had some road damage and drainage issues. John was very persuasive at the meetings that these issues be corrected. We were very satisfied with the end results. I was very impressed with John’s interest, concern, and follow-up. I highly recommend John Luepke be reelected. Ronny Cordes New Ulm

Vote for John Luepke

To the editor: On Nov. 8, I would urge you to vote for John Luepke. John has spent his lifetime serving his church, family and area organizations. As a county commissioner he has the largest area to represent. He is always available to hear your concerns, and will always get you an answer. He makes sure he is informed on as many issues as possible, and votes the way he thinks the people he represents would want him to vote. He is fiscally responsible. Please give your vote to John Luepke on November 8th. Thank you. Gerald Fitzner Courtland
