In my 14 years of being married to Tom, I never thought he would want to seriously run for political office. Though he has been active within our local Republican Party, he had always put his time and effort into raising our six children and building his business.

After watching years of lockdowns, mandates, rising crime, and out-of-control taxation – he could no longer stand on the sidelines. My husband Tom Dippel stepped up to run for Minnesota Senate in January – before redistricting made Senate District 41 a competitive district for Republicans.

My husband is not looking to climb the political ladder. He is not an opportunist. Tom is a Godly man trying to save his community from being run into the ground by out-oftouch career politicians. Republican Delegates overwhelmingly agreed that Tom is the candidate for the job when they voted to endorse him for Senate District 41.

The August 9th Primary is more than just the selection of our Republican nominee for senate. This election is about electing a fresh perspective that conservatives can depend on. On August 9th, please cast your vote for my husband, Tom Dippel. Carrie Dippel Cottage Grove
