Ricketts Releases Ad

Introducing economic growth throughout Nebraska as a major theme of his campaign, Pete Ricketts today released his first television ad of the general election.

“I’m not a typical politician,” Ricketts said.  “I’ve balanced budgets, made investments, and created jobs.   To grow jobs and population across the state, we need real-world experience and a fresh perspective in Lincoln.”

The ad outlines priorities of a Ricketts administration: creating good-paying jobs, achieving real property tax reform, and applying practical, real-world experience to responsibly reform state government.

The ad also emphasizes Ricketts’ business background.  When Ricketts started at Ameritrade, the company had fewer than 150 employees.  Over a 20-year period, he helped the business grow into one of the most successful in the nation.  Today, it employs more than 2,000 Nebraskans and 6,000 nationwide.
