Voter profile: Dan Thewis
As the 2020 presidential election neared, I spent some time with Two Harbors resident Dan Thewis and asked him what his hopes were for the next 5-10 years.
“My hope is just to build a community everyone wants to live in. My wife and I spend time talking about being good neighbors. What does that mean? What does that action look like? And I think just kind of sharing that through example, spreading that through example, and living that out every day. I’ve tried my best to be kind, simply put. It’s not always that easy but that’s what we aspire to: to just have a community everyone wants to live in.”
