NEBRASKA GOP CHAIRMAN: PARTY FLYER TARGETING LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATE ‘CROSSED THE LINE’

LINCOLN – Nebraska Republican Party Chairman, Dan Welch, stated that a campaign flyer targeting Janet Palmtag of Syracuse crossed the line. Chairman Welch stated that he hopes the campaigns stick to relevant issues moving forward. The flyer in question criticized Palmtag for opposing Gov. Ricketts’s plan to raise the salary of the director of Nebraska’s prison system. The flyer compared Palmtag to “radical,” Sen. Ernie Chambers, according to the flyer's own language.

The GOP in Nebraska is divided on the legislative race with Gov. Pete Ricketts backing incumbent Sen. Julie Slama and Congressman Jeff Fortenberry supporting Palmtag.
