LINCOLN- Senator Carol Blood's challenger, Rick Holdcroft, sent out a series of campaign attack mailers that label Blood as a "radical Democrat" who is "too extreme for Nebraska". Some mailings have also said she voted to reduce jail time for pedophiles and violent convicts and goes on to say she is letting the police down.

In response, Blood poked fun at these ads through videos posted on her social media pages including Facebook, denouncing negative campaigning and offering suggestions to constituents on how to make use of the mailings. These suggestions include starting bonfires and making dog chew toys out of the glossy paper. In response, Holdcroft says the mailings accurately depict Blood's liberal values, which he argues do not represent her constituents. Blood won the primary with over 57% of the vote.

Other flyers against Blood have criticized her stances on taxes, immigration and gun control. Her recent ads, by comparison, have focused on her accomplishments during her first term in the Legislature. District 3 includes parts of Bellevue, Papillion and central Sarpy County in the officially nonpartisan Legislature.
