"As a mom, educator, and principal, Angela knows what it takes to work hard and go the extra mile to get things done for her family, her students, and her school. Angela is a proven leader who inspires others. As our state senator, Angela will strengthen our public schools and our whole community."

I have lived in a Senate District under Jim Abeler's influence for far too long. As a retired teacher of 35 years, I trust Ang to do what's right for all of our children, and consequently, their families - something I’ve not been seeing from Senator Abeler.

Angela Nelson is a truly dedicated and empathetic person, someone who not only gets the job done but does so with a genuine concern for others. That combination of competence and compassion is a rare and valuable trait!

I wholeheartedly endorse Angela Nelson for this State Senate seat. I grew up with Ang in Coon Rapids and she's been my best friend for close to 30 years. Her vision for a better community and Minnesota aligns with the beliefs and values we've held dear since we were young. I am confident she will serve Coon Rapids and the surrounding areas with integrity and compassion, and will lead this community toward positive change.

From the moment I met Ang, it was clear that her energy is unmatched and rooted in compassion, inclusiveness, and an unwavering commitment to those around her.
Ang's leadership is not just about making decisions; it's about making the right ones. She leads with a grounded, thoughtful approach, always ensuring that those in her care feel seen, heard, and valued. In the midst of life's inevitable storms, she has been a guiding beacon for so many kids and families, offering stability and wisdom.
Her love for others is truly unmatched. Whether it's through small acts of kindness or grand gestures of support, Ang pours her heart into everything she does. She has an innate ability to bring people together, uplift those in need, and inspire those around her to be their best selves.
Great leaders don't just direct, they empower, nurture, and lead with love. Ange embodies all of these and more. Anyone fortunate enough to work with her, learn from her, or simply be in her presence knows the profound impact she has. She is, without a doubt , the kind of leader the world needs more of.

I align with Ang’s commitment to public service for ALL. Her inclusivity has made her a sought after educator and school administrator. I have seen Ang in action and learned to appreciate her work ethic and her transparency in sharing information. Ang commits to finding win-win solutions for problems she encounters in schools and I know she will bring that same positive energy to her work as our representative!
