LINCOLN - Republican congressional nominee Mike Flood pledged to pursue a conservative agenda that will bring inflation and illegal immigration under control while harnessing the growth of the federal government and protecting the lives of the unborn.

"Under the failed one-party rule of Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, it is clear that our nation is on the wrong track," Flood said.

"People are struggling to pay record-high prices at the gas pump and in the grocery store," he said.

The Norfolk state senator touted his conservative voting record of supporting tax relief, law enforcement officers, preservation of the death penalty, and approval of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline to secure the nation's energy future.

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy of California was the featured speaker at the Country Club of Lincoln, an event that brought in a litany of Republican heavyweights.

Flood will be matched against Sen. Patty Pansing Brooks of Lincoln, the Democratic nominee, in a June 28 special election showdown to serve the remaining six months of former Republican Rep. Jeff Fortenberry's ninth term representing eastern Nebraska's 1st District in the House.

Pansing Brooks hosted a news conference at her downtown Lincoln campaign headquarters to announce her endorsement by 57 current and former elected officials in Nebraska, including a number of Republicans.
