In November 2006, Nelson was elected to the Orange County Board of Commissioners. In 2007, he announced his intention to run for the North Carolina Senate in 2008, seeking to replace retiring Sen. Ellie Kinnaird in the reliably-Democratic 23rd district, which contains Orange and Person counties. When Kinnaird changed her mind and decided to run for re-election, Nelson suspended his own campaign. Nelson has a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
