Exercise your right to vote

To the editor: It is crucial that we vote in this midterm election, on Tuesday, November 8. We can all agree that the price of gas, groceries, rent, and all other commodities have more than doubled and in many cases, some items are not in stock. This is all due to President Biden and extreme democrat agendas and has caused “Inflation”, looming toward “Recession”. The flood gates have been opened at the southern border at our expense, and now we are expected to pay Biden’s college tuition policy. The youth of this world will never learn to put in a hard day’s work, if we ...

School Board Elections

To the editor: In the past few months, I have seen a lot of letters to the editor asking the school board candidates where they stand on certain issues. These are great questions that give more insight into how the candidates will work on how to school our children. The incumbents were asked one question regarding their position on teaching sexual orientation to children in grades K–3; this happened in the early spring of 2022 and still not a peep from them. It is a simple yes-or-no question. If they cannot decide how they feel about an easy question, I cannot imagine them making a ...

Ag for ISD88

To the editor: I love this time of year with combines rolling, harvest in full swing and all hands on deck. It pulses with activity and life and exemplifies how working together as a team we can get tremendous things done. Agriculture is the foundation of this region, an economic driver and a way of life. Farmers have farmed these lands for over a century. Along the way we have built our towns, created businesses and started our schools. We have always been there because community and caring for one another is part of our core. It’s why the Ag community continues to step up when ...

Vote Kurt Zins in Nicollet County District 5

To the editor: I am proudly supporting Kurt Zins in the upcoming election for Nicollet County Commissioner District #5. As a past Mayor of the City of Nicollet, I had the privilege of working beside Kurt and witnessing his hard work and dedication to the community.

His commitment and dedication to serving others continued through his 21years of service on the Nicollet Volunteer Fire Department. As a fellow Nicollet business owner, Kurt also has first-hand knowledge ...

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
