LETTERS to the editor

Thanks for your support

To the editor:

It’s an honor to be able to stand next to, and up for, your neighbors. I want to thank all those who supported me in the recent city council election, as well as my campaign team, my family and my fellow At-Large candidate, Dr. Les Riess. I couldn’t have earned the opportunity to serve our residents without the confidence of the people of Cloquet.

Please continue to follow the activities of our local government. Show up for meetings. Speak up. Contact your representatives. Vote.

City Hall belongs to you and you are welcome there. I’ll see you in January!

Lara Wilkinson, Cloquet

Campaign was tremendous experience

To the editor:

I am writing to congratulate my opponent Mike Sundin on his re-election to the State House District 11A seat. I would also like to thank my family, friends, committed supporters and all the people who worked so hard on the campaign. I can’t thank you enough for all the help and support.

For me, the campaign was a tremendous experience that I will not forget. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all my neighbors in the community as I was campaigning. I highly encourage all people to get involved. Whether it be for federal, state or local races, school board, church, hospital, library, senior citizens or volunteering for other opportunities, it’s a great experience and you will get to know the heart of your community as well as make your community a better place to live.

So, get involved, stay involved, and enjoy the personal rewards that will follow. I know I will.

Jeff A. Dotseth, Kettle River
