LETTER to the Editor

If you live in Cottage Grove, there is a good chance that you have gotten several mailers, texts, emails, calls, and volunteers at your door. Our campaign is working hard to reach as many voters as possible. We want to learn what issues are important to you so they are represented at the Capitol.

If we have not talked in person yet, I would love to sometime in the future. My name is Tom Dippel, and I am running as a Republican to be your next State Senator. I grew up here in Cottage Grove on Grey Cloud Island and graduated from Park High School in the class of 2000. My wife Carrie and I decided to raise our six children here because we love our community.

I have been a business owner for twenty years, fourteen of which have been with my current business – now employing twenty exceptional employees. Our campaign offers a steady hand that our district is yearning for. After years of rising crime, economic hardship, and government corruption, we cannot afford to stay with the status quo in St. Paul.

I am excited to be an independent voice that will work for you in St. Paul. I hope and pray that I win your vote on November 8th. I humbly look forward to standing up for it in St. Paul. Tom Dippel Cottage Grove
