Pastor Jim Nelson, a veteran and retired law enforcement officer, is the first GOP candidate to announce a bid for Pennsylvania’s 17th Congressional District, a competitive broad suburban Pittsburgh district currently held by Democrat RepDeluzio.
Nelson said in an interview he has been receiving calls from people in the community since the midterm elections last fall to consider running for the swing seat. He made the decision recently that it was the right thing for him to do.“I have been called to service all of my life through the different hats I have worn, whether it was serving my country in the military, as a police officer, or as a pastor here in Duquesne,” said Nelson.
Nelson said in his press release, “I’m a veteran, a retired law enforcement officer, a pastor, and most importantly, a proud American. I am a public servant at heart and for more than three decades, I have served the communities of western Pennsylvania. I’ve kept our residents safe, protected our neighborhoods, and I am honored to have made a difference in the lives of many.
