As a citizen of Albert Lea’s Commissioner District 5, I am pleased to have a candidate as exceptional as Linda Tuttle for the position of county commissioner. Linda is a dedicated and hard-working person who is committed to the success and growth of our community. Her experience as a business owner means she understands the necessity of a balanced budget. Her familiarity with local government means she knows the amount of hard work it takes to achieve this.

Linda understands the issues that our community faces and she looks forward to working with other entities, such as the state, city and watershed district, to find realistic, long-term resolutions. She knows that collaboration is the only way to achieve many of our goals as a community.

I would encourage all voters in District 5 to consider Linda Tuttle’s experience and personal success when making your selection for county commissioner. You deserve a representative with real-life experience and knowledge who sincerely cares about Freeborn County.

Remember to vote in the primary on Sept. 9!
