From Ernie Angelo:

I have known Nelson and Nancy for several years and have seen first hand
their commitment to Midland and the Republican Party and our candidates.
Some have questioned Nelson for his New Mexico roots. I personally view his
N. M. Experience as an asset. I have friends there who are active at a high
level in N. M. Politics. One was the only NM GOP Attorney General. They all
are very positive about Nelson’s political and business activity there which
included an appointment from a Republican Governor. At least two of these
individuals have publicly endorsed Nelson. It should also be of interest
that Nelson’s family has Texas members whose family were in Texas before the
Civil War.

I am supporting Nelson Spear for Midland County Chairman because I believe
his enthusiasm, willingness to contribute time and resources, his experience
and innovative thinking are what we need to maximize the effectiveness of
our County Party. I am very appreciative of the contributions made by our
current Chairman but I strongly believe in the benefits a new perspective
can bring.

Governor Ronald Reagan, 1977:

Our task now is not to sell a philosophy, but to make the majority of Americans, who already share that philosophy, see that modern conservatism offers them a political home. We are not a cult, we are members of a majority. Let’s act and talk like it.

Sharing is good...
