LINCOLN- Two days after being sworn into office U.S. congressman Mike Flood was blasted by Democrats following a vote on an amber alert type warning system for active shooters.

The bill that was being voted on had fellow Rep. Don Bacon listed as a co-sponsor to the proposal.

The House bill advanced Wednesday to the Senate on a 260-169 vote, with 43 Republicans, including Bacon, voting yes. Flood and U.S. Rep. Adrian Smith, R-Neb., voted no.

Pansing Brooks, in a tweet Thursday, slammed the “no” vote, saying the proposal was widely backed by law enforcement.

“His vote is another example of the lock-step partisanship tearing our country apart,” she tweeted.

Jane Kleeb, the chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party, and Dennis Crawford, a former Democratic candidate for Congress, also tweeted their criticism of Flood’s vote. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — whom Flood has criticized during his campaign — also slammed Republicans who voted against the proposal.
