LINCOLN- A campaign called “Unrig Our Economy Nebraska” launched, saying it wants to educate voters about how those in power favor corporations and the wealthy at the expense of working people.

The group is part of a national effort that plans to spend more than $1 million in Nebraska to educate voters, according to Kevin Cass, the group’s campaign manager.

It is aiming its publicity campaign at positions taken by U.S. Rep. Don Bacon, a Republican who represents the 2nd Congressional District. The group cited his votes for decreasing corporate income taxes and against the American Rescue Plan Act, which Unrig our Economy says will help middle-class families and avoid a recession.

“The big Republican elephant in the room is Representative Don Bacon’s complicity with his corporate cronies to rig our economy against working Nebraskans,” Cass said in a news release. “The working people of Nebraska deserve a leader who stands up for working people.”

Cass said progressive economic policies are widely popular with Americans, but they do not realize that their elected officials are not backing them with votes in Congress.
