Nels Pierson
for Congress

A MN 1st Congressional District native. A hardworking, trustworthy family man. A candidate ready to fight for you.

Born and Raised in Minnesota's 1st Congressional District

To truly represent the values of Southern Minnesota, you need someone actually from Southern Minnesota. I grew up on a dairy farm in Butterfield, MN and have lived my entire life in this part of the state. I know the issues you face, and I’m ready to fight for you in Congress.

The Agenda I'll Fight For

Represent Southern Minnesota Values

No other candidate has lived throughout the 1st Congressional District. No other candidate knows all of the issues being faced by our communities.

Fight Against Big Government

It's time to get the government off our backs, out of our wallets, and out of the affairs of our small businesses. I'm sick of it, and I know you are too.

Protect Life

I not only support protecting life in every way, but I also strive to live that out in my daily life. I've had to fight government bureaucracy to bring my adopted son home, and we've supported three pregnant mothers during our adoption process.

Secure Our Borders

Our borders are wide open with people pouring into our country. Isn't it time we knew who we were letting in and who was coming to help or hurt our great nation?

Housing First is confident that as a realtor and a legislator, Nels is a housing leader who shares the goal of providing the opportunity of home ownership for everyone, everywhere. This requires balance in our regulatory structure, and we recognize Nels' commitment to achieving that balance.
