NEW HERBSTER-BACKED 'NEBRASKA FIRST' PAC AIMS TO BOLSTER STATE, LOCAL CONSERVATIVES

OMAHA- After losing Nebraska's gubernatorial primary, Charles Herbster is shifting gear to focus on conservative mega-donations. On Thursday, Herbster announced that he would be creating a new conservative political action committee, titled 'Nebraska First', which will be used to steer conservatives candidates in Nebraska. 

Herbster said, "While I came up short in my bid to be our next Governor, I fully intend to remain active in fighting for the traditional Christian Conservative values our state and country were founded on. During my campaign, I talked about a lot of issues and ideas that resonated with voters. With Nebraska First, we want to make sure those voters have a voice in their government.” 

Rod Edwards, one of the key members in Herbster's former gubernatorial team, will lead the new PAC. Edwards stated that the PAC's main focus will be local and state politics.

The group also announced that one of the key issues they will attempt to tackle is the Nebraska's legislatures method of electing committee chairs, which is done with a secret ballot. In the past, Herbster has argued that these votes should be public.

The second issue the PAC will focus on is the "constitutional carry" measure, which they believe should be law. This measure would allow citizens of Nebraska to carry a concealed handgun without a permit.

The PAC's website lists several other issues it will focus on, including Critical Race Theory.
