Chuck Hassebrook, Democratic gubernatorial candidate from Lyons, will be in Lincoln on Tuesday morning to file the official paperwork to run for Governor.  Hassebrook will address supporters to talk about the campaign’s progress so far and will also reveal information about 2013 fundraising, days before official reports are published. 

Members of the press are invited to attend the announcement.  Hassebrook will take questions from the press and will be available for one-on-one interviews:

WHAT: Filing Rally and 2013 Fundraising Announcement
WHEN: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 at 10:30 a.m.
WHERE: Rotunda, Capitol Building, 1445 K St., Lincoln
WHO: Chuck Hassebrook, candidate for Governor; more than 100 supporters from all across the state

Hassebrook served on the University of Nebraska Board of Regents for 18 years, and spent 36 years working for rural communities at the Center for Rural Affairs, a national rural advocacy and development organization based in Lyons, where he has assisted over 10,000 rural Nebraska small businesses.   

Since announcing he will run for Governor in June, Hassebrook has received the support of key leaders in Lincoln and Omaha, including former Omaha Mayors Mike Boyle, Mike Fahey, and Jim Suttle, former Lincoln Mayor Colleen Seng, thirteen state Senators, former Nebraska Governor and U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey, and others.
