NORTH PLATTE- Delegates of the State Central Committee for the Nebraska Republican Party overwhelmingly voted to exclusively endorse Chris Bruns’ race in District 42.

Both District 42 candidates requested the endorsement; however, after the ballot vote from delegates across the state was cast and counted, Bruns was the only candidate to receive the nod of support from the Party.

Chris Bruns is running against current state senator Mike Jacobson. Senator Jacobson was appointed to the legislature earlier this year by Governor Ricketts.

The primary was very close between the two candidates with Bruns polling at 45.44% and Jacobson at 43.79%.

In order to receive an endorsement from the NEGOP, a candidate must garner at least two-thirds of the delegate vote. Bruns received 88%, including 100% of those that represent the 42nd District in the state delegation.

Bruns said, “I was not able to attend the event as I was attending events here in the district, having fun while meeting so many great people, and working hard to earn their trust, respect, and vote. My proven record of controlling spending, lowering taxes, and fighting for our individual liberties and property rights aligns strongly with the NEGOP. I am honored to receive the Party’s endorsement, and grateful that they recognize that I best represent the hard-working people here in West Central Nebraska.
