Letters: Radosevich stands for everyone

In my decade-or-so as a Cloquet City Council member, a few people stand out in my mind as highly-engaged citizens — outspoken, positive, and passionate about our community. They’re absolutely tenacious.

One of those tenacious people is Pete Radosevich. Over his many years as a local resident, he’s stepped up time and again to rally for changes, support (and operate) local businesses, raise a family, and work hard to make the place we live a little better for us all. When I heard he was running for office, I thought: It’s about time.

As an attorney, he’s fought to protect the rights of others. As a resident, he’s committed to his neighbors. As the host of Harry’s Gang, he’s adept at crossing political boundaries to enrich conversations and debates. He listens, and he asks the tough questions, so we can find the best answers. Pete will be a representative for all our area residents, and he‘ll get things done. He isn’t a showy politician — he works like the rest of us: tirelessly, genuinely, and without complaint.

The last years have been challenging for all of us. Future state policies will impact our lives. We need a tenacious, vocal representative who will stand up for our needs, values, and priorities, in a legislature flooded with metro-area voices. Pete can do it.

I wholeheartedly endorse Pete Radosevich (“Tenacious-P”) as our next state representative in District 11A. Our communities and families deserve the strength, intelligence, and commitment he’ll bring to the legislature.
