About Thomas M. Nelson Books
Thomas M. Nelson is the Outagamie County executive (Appleton-Fox Valley, Wisconsin) and a former Wisconsin Assembly majority leader (2008-2010). His first book, One Day Stronger: How One Union Local Saved a Mill and Changed an Industry--and What It Means for American Manufacturing, is based on his work as an elected official to save a paper mill that had been shut down by a big bank and sold to a scrap dealer. The improbable tale earned him a starred Kirkus Review.
