FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART… THANK YOU! ❤️
I wanted to take a moment to properly thank EVERYONE who supported, encouraged, motivated, and believed in me throughout this campaign. I was a bit emotional at 1 am on Tuesday. 🥳😱
Whether it was a simple *Like, Comment, or Share* on Facebook, a quick “You have my vote,” an encouraging message, or taking the time to sit down and have a conversation with me, please know that every single bit of support meant more than you probably realize. Those were the things that kept me going!
Steve and I put our hearts into this campaign. Along the way, we had everything from two-minute conversations that ended with “You already had my vote!” to half-hour conversations where I had the opportunity to get to know you, hear your concerns, and share my vision for Redwood County. I genuinely enjoyed those conversations and appreciate everyone who took the time to visit with me.
I have been overwhelmed with emotions since learning at 1:00 a.m. that I will have the honor of representing Redwood County as your next County Commissioner! I am incredibly humbled, grateful, and excited. Please know that I do not take this responsibility lightly. I will work hard, listen, ask questions, find answers, and do my very best to represent ALL of you.
And to everyone in the Springfield area who supported me throughout this journey, THANK YOU! I know you weren't able to vote in this election, but hearing your encouragement, confidence, and belief in me meant the world. Your support reminded me that this campaign was about more than an election. It was about people, relationships, and a shared desire to make our communities stronger.
Now, the real work begins! I am already looking forward to meeting with community members in Lamberton on November 17th to discuss ways to improve access to childcare. I hope to bring that same conversation to Wabasso very soon. I want to keep listening, learning, and finding ways to make a difference throughout Redwood County.
And finally, my biggest THANK YOU goes to my husband, Steve. He was my rock, my Navigation and GIS King, my motivator, and my biggest supporter. He was right beside me every step of the way, through every mile, every conversation, every late night, and every emotion. I could not have done this without him, and I am so incredibly blessed to have him by my side. ❤️
To everyone who encouraged me, opened your doors, shared your thoughts, put a sign in your yard, made a phone call, shared a post, or simply told me you believed in me… THANK YOU!
You gave me the encouragement to keep going, and now you have given me the opportunity to serve Redwood County.
God Bless,
Heidi Wersal
Your next Redwood County Commissioner
