LINCOLN- Democrat gubernatorial candidate has spent just 3% of what Republican Jim Pillen has, and she says that is just fine.

“I may have been outspent,” Blood said, “but I’ve never been outworked.”

With Republican voters holding a 2-to-1 advantage over Democrats, Blood is considered a longshot for the statehouse, but she said Saturday in Kearney, “I’m not a sacrificial lamb.”

Blood noted that she has been an underdog in many elections throughout her career, but hard work and determination have been her secret weapon.

She’s defeated what many considered to be stronger candidates for city council in Bellevue and for her District 3 Legislature seat that she’s held for six years.

While speaking at a Kearney town hall, Blood said,"When I’m elected, we’ll decide what our state’s priorities are. We’ll ask communities what their top three needs are, and then we’ll do a strategic plan that’s reflected in our state budget."

Pillen has declined to debate Blood. She said if he were to debate, it would expose his lack of knowledge about Nebraska government.

As November approaches, Carol Blood will continue to push forward and focus on hard work to achieve her end goal.
