Public Utilities Commissioner Chris Nelson sent this plea for funds out this week to GOP Convention Delegates, kicking off his 2016 campaign to return to the Public Utilities Commission:
Nelson ended last year with $14,612.25 in his campaign account. That comes after raising (roughly around) $113,500 and spending $99,802 in his 2012 campaign, leaving him only about 10-15% in his campaign account for seed money.
Which isn’t bad, considering the last person the Dems ran for PUC, David Allen, raised $970, spent $475, and walked away with $490 left over in his campaign account. (cha-ching!)
What if a fellow like Mr. H from the libbie side runs against Mr. Nelson? He could be a big threat. I think everybody needs to kick in a few dollars for Mr. Nelson and make sure he is ready to beat back the libbie left who wants to sit in his seat.
If you want the inside story on politics in South Dakota and you want the whole truth and nothing but the truth Chris Nelson will deliver it. For a State or Country to succeed the rule of law must not only be followed but enforced vigilantly, and Secretary/Commissioner Nelson has proven time and again that he dots every “i” and crosses every “t”.
