One Small Step: Russell Nelson and Lina Collado Broadcast Excerpt

It's nice to meet you.

Can you briefly describe your political values and what shaped them?

I'd say I'm basically conservative.

I mean, I'm running for coroner as a Republican.

Maybe that isn't such a great idea in Teton County anymore, but at one point it was.

what shaped them, probably my parents.

My dad was a business owner here in town, civil engineer, Nelson Engineering.

His father was a builder and rancher, was county commissioner at one point, at the point where the governor called up and said, you got to shut down the gambling in Teton County.

His father was Actually Wyoming's first state game warden and a rancher, homesteader, pioneer mountain man.

I mean he wanted to, the reason he came over from Sweden was because he had read Fenimore Cooper and wanted to go live in the mountains and do that kind of stuff.

And so he followed his dream and did that.

The family's kind of been here in northwestern Wyoming and eastern Idaho area for literally ever since.

But I would say that my views are mostly influenced probably from my heritage and history.
