Endorsement from Shelly Boeglin, sister of Denise Slipy

Submitted by Shelly Boeglin, Denise Slipy’s sister:

“Where to start... I guess I'll start with telling you my name is Shelly and I am Denise's sister. I got to meet some of you last week. I want to thank all of you for the long hours and hard work that you are putting in to help Denise get elected.

I had the privilege of growing up with Denise. From the start she didn't have an easy road, but she was blessed with grandparents who took her in and raised her as best they could with all the love in the world. As a child she was a handful. So much energy and life that she kept them on their toes every minute of the day - but oh how they loved her. She grew into a vibrant and strong-willed young woman who knew what she wanted and went after it. From time to time this could get her into trouble. I've even had to pin her down on the floor and sit on her a few times. (LOL)

She never was the kind to go with the status quo. She wanted answers for everything. "Because I said so" was not gonna cut it - she questioned everything. If you could not give her a satisfactory answer, she was going to search until she found one. She was the champion for anyone that she saw being picked on - she simply would not stand for it. This is a trait that she still possesses today. She is the most amazing role model for her daughter, granddaughters and for my girls who lovingly call her Aunt Neenee. (My boys think the world of her too). She is their Auntie, friend and confidant. I couldn't ask for a better sister.

Denise Slipy is the strongest woman I have ever known. That's saying a lot because I've known some pretty amazing women.

I’ve seen the attack ads coming from her opponent, and I've seen some comments that say this race is insurmountable for her. Our Neenee doesn't know the definition of that word!

To this I say go ahead and tell her she can't do it.... But you better step out of her way because she's going to run you over giving it her all to prove you wrong.

Denise, I see you doing big things. You make me so proud. I would vote for you in a flat second if I could. We will be cheering you on from home. We love you.

GO GET'EM NEENEE!!!!”
