Tamara Nelsen
Welcome to Nelsen For Council. This site is intended to be where the voters of Sidney can learn more about me as a candidate and my views on the issues. As a former editor of The Sun-Telegraph, and most recently a reporter for sidneystagecoach.com, I am the ideal candidate for council because of my knowledge of the community. For the past several years, I have reported on school board and county commissioner meetings, attending meetings of several political subdivisions such as the Sidney Historic Preservation board, the Sidney Historical Association, the fair board and city council. If I wasn’t covering an event, I was likely editing someone else’s report on it. That goes for community events in general. People will most likely recognize me as the lady with the camera, as I have had the privilege of being inside the ropes, front and center, for just about every major news event in Sidney recently. I have interviewed everyone from senators to a local woman who grew a batch of strange looking carrots.
Please feel free to contact me with your questions or comments by e-mailing tamaranelsen@gmail.com.

Photo Gallery



These are some of my fave photos I've taken in Cheyenne County. The clouds pic was taken the night there was tornado activity near Chappell, taken from the WNCC parking lot. The other pics were both taken during a Thanksgiving walk at my friend Leslie Cook's, about 12 miles west of town. The evening sky and Lodgepole Creek (yes, above ground even!) have never failed to impress, and the walk is mandatory or you don't get dessert!
