US SENS. DEB FISCHER, PETE RICKETTS FORMALLY FILE TO SEEK ELECTION TO SENATE

LINCOLN- Both of Nebraska’s incumbent U.S. senators have formally filed to run for office again, likely ensuring state voters will see familiar names on the November 2024 ballot. Republican Sen. Deb Fischer filed paperwork to run for reelection with Nebraska’s Secretary of State early this week, a formal step in her bid for a third term in the Senate, which she was first elected to in 2012.

“This milestone is a testament to the strong grassroots support for my campaign and our collective commitment to earn each and every vote,” Fischer said in a statement Monday. She will be joined on the ballot by Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts, the state’s former governor whom Pillen appointed to the Senate in January 2023.

Ricketts, 59, filed earlier this month to finish the two years remaining in the term he inherited following former Sen. Ben Sasse’s resignation from the body last January. “I’m asking for your vote to continue the fight to hold Joe Biden accountable, secure our southern border, stand up to the Chinese Communist Party and defend our God-given rights and freedoms", said Ricketts.
