Eric Angvall

Angvall understands small-city, rural problems

Saturday, October 25th, 2008 | Letter

From Kevin Johnson, Hutchinson

Leaders inspire us and move us to act. They stand out having the experience, energy and persistence to motivate us to tackle the job. They don’t necessarily have all the ideas. And it’s best when they know that.

Eric Angvall is this kind of person. If you know Eric, you already know this to be true. If you don’t know him yet, you owe it to yourself to look at his record spanning nearly 40 years of civic involvement for evidence.

Fourteen years as mayor of Lester Prairie means he has experience dealing with rural and small city problems. As a substitute teacher, he knows firsthand the challenges facing rural schools. And 17 years as owner/operator of the hardware store in Lester Prairie tells you, he knows that dollars don’t come easily for anyone, including small business owners.
Eric Angvall will actively seek all opinions and input. He won’t be invisible. Our congressman, Collin Peterson has produced radio advertising in support of Eric.

I urge you to help put this kind of leader to work and vote for Eric Angvall as District 18A Representative.
