Christopher A. Nelson

Born and raised in the heart of Illinois, Christopher Nelson has woven the fabric of his community into every step of his life’s journey. From the days of earning his stripes as a Boy Scout to walking the halls of Notre Dame High School, Christopher’s formative years in Peoria instilled in him a profound sense of duty and service.

Embracing the call to serve after 9/11, Christopher joined the Air Force in 2004, carrying forward the legacy of his grandfathers—both esteemed veterans. His commitment to country and community deepened, mirroring the values they once defended.

With an eye on advocacy and justice, Christopher’s path led him to law, graduating from Northern Illinois University with a Juris Doctor in 2012.
