John and Marlys Honour think Belle Plaine "has so much charm and such a wonderful Minnesota feel,"and want residents to vote for their son, according to a July 30 letter to the editor of the newspaper in the Scott County community.
They also think the same thing about Kenyon (LTE July 24, Kenyon Leader)
And Pine Island (LTE July 30, Zumbrota News Record).
Here's the letter printed in the three small town newspapers:
As the parents of Scott Honour, who is running for Governor of Minnesota, we have been extremely lucky to be able to travel the state talking about his plan to better our great state for years to come.
Visiting Belle Plaine this week was an absolute pleasure. This city has so much charm and such a wonderful Minnesota feel, and the residents were more than welcoming. We chatted with a variety of folks introducing them to our son and hearing what they are looking for in their next governor. We once again heard that Minnesotans want a change from the politics as usual sort of candidate and would rather have a candidate with a history of getting results.
Scott Honour has done that in business, and he’s also excelled as a husband and father to three beautiful children.
The primary election is August 12 and if you would like a conservative businessman, rather than a career politician, please vote for our son, Scott Honour.
Sincerely,
John & Marlys Honour
Watertown, MN
The Kenyon Leader didn't preserve the paragraphing, but the Honours found the town to be just as charming and Minnesota feeling, populated by residents who feel exactly like the people living in Belle Plaine and Pine Island:

We have read a lot about conformity is small towns, but this is a bit extreme.
