To the Voters of Minnesota:

Justice Thissen is without question the most qualified candidate running for the Minnesota State Supreme Court and I endorse him for that high office.

In a professional capacity I have known Paul Thissen since 2004 where we both served in the Minnesota House of Representatives. His wide range of legal expertise, willingness to serve his State and Community and his courteous and respectful nature tell me that his continued service on Minnesota’s highest court is in the best interests of our State.

The Judicial system, Minnesota’s 3rd branch of government, is every bit as vital to our democracy as the Legislative and Executive Branches for it has the responsibility to interpret, not make laws. I believe Justice Thissen understands this and that is why I join with so many others in endorsing his candidacy.

So, turn your ballot over and vote for Thissen for Minnesota Supreme Court.

Respectfully submitted,

Senator Scott Newman, Senate District 18

24203 Oday Ave

Hutchinson MN, 55350
